We were attending a wedding at the Monday club. The location was perfect for us to take a short walk to and from the wedding. The rooms are cute and clean. The shared bathroom is between the two bedrooms. We enjoyed sitting in the living area to visit. Easy street parking out front. A nice stay overall.

Good location close to downtown, Can easily walk to restaurants and other areas downtown. Bathroom is shared by both bedrooms, which was fine. Some windows do not lock but over all the house met all our needs for a nice stay. The owner was very good with communication and there was good information of things to do in the house.

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our stay. Very clean, well stocked with necessary items. Located close to everything we needed & yet in a nice quiet neighborhood. The host was great with all communication and even offered to leave us some half & half in a mason jar for our coffee the next day as we were arriving on a late flight! We would absolutely recommend staying in the adorable cottage!

Our stay in the cottage was comfortable and convenient for 3 adults. The location is wonderfully quiet while being close to Cal Poly and downtown. Street parking with lots of availability is another plus. Kitchen amenities are a bit limited but we primarily ate out so had no issues. We also appreciated having a later checkout. We would stay here again for our next SLO visit.

Great place for a short visit. Clean and central. Modest kitchen and tight space but much more relaxing than a hotel. Definitely on the list for next visit.

Great place to stay!

Our stay at Amber’s cottage was great! So convenient to downtown and Cal Poly campus. The clientele of the neighboring motel was a little sketchy at times but overall the area was safe and convenient. House was clean & comfortable. We had a great stay!
