This could not have been a better place to stay in SLO. Everything was perfect and having this as our home base for a month was an ideal way to experience the beautiful Central Coast.
Eric was a consummate host. He was always available if needed but never intrusive. This property is in a great location. It is close to downtown and the many SLO wineries. The property is both functional and comfortable. We highly recommend!
The guesthouse was exactly as shown in the photos. It was adorable and very clean, and I loved having the extra studio for some friends who joined me for a few days. Eric was a wonderful host. He came up to greet me when I arrived and was very responsive when I contacted him with questions. This is a residential neighborhood with kids and dogs and a school nearby. Also the area is quite hilly, so I got an extra workout when I went biking and walking. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I enjoyed my time there.
We had a wonderful time in SLO. Eric's Guesthouse was perfect for us. All that was promised. Very upscale, and beautifully furnished and decorated. We look forward to returning some day.
We loved our time staying at the guesthouse. Beautiful property, very private. Stylish decor, very comfortable. Excellent location. Eric was a great host.
This is the third time we have rented this property. So private, lovely courtyard and back patio. Great for morning coffee and afternoon wine. With temps in the 70’s .. so much to do in SLO .. tennis, golf, pickleball, hiking, biking, beach, wine tasting, shopping and eating !!
Good location and nice private guest house. It was just what we expected based on online informatio.
Eric and Helen were good hosts. The guest house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay

Sunny cottage on the hill
Lovely little house, with great outdoor living.
Next door owners couldn't be more hospitable
all the while keeping your privacy.
Couldn't imagine a nicer stay away from home.

About the host
Hosted by Property Manager/Owner
I have lived in SLO since 2003. I am originally from Colorado. I am a health professional. I love the SLO life and am busy raising our two school-aged children. My parents winter with us in the guest house, but the rest of the year we enjoy making it available to the VRBO community.
Why they chose this property
