About this property
The Perfect Downtown SLO Home for You
Welcome to your garden house in downtown San Luis Obispo. If you are person who enjoys walking everywhere, then this is the place for you. Due to city regulations our house does have a 30 night minimum stay requirement. The house is a 10 minute walk to downtown (shopping, bars, restaurants, historic mission, art galleries), a 9 minute walk to the closest brewery, 6 minutes to the closest restaurants and coffee shops and a 2 minute walk to groceries and a pharmacy. The location is ideal for easy living. The house is full of natural light from large windows that open to the garden. The San Luis Obispo Creek meanders through the property, providing habitat for all sorts of birdlife. Enjoy a morning cup of coffee and catch some sun in the front yard garden and end your day with a glass of wine taking in the lushness of the back patio. Beaches, wineries, hiking and the all that San Luis Obispo has to offer is a short drive away. The dining room table seats four and is surrounded by top to bottom windows, giving you a lovely view of the garden's activity. The downstairs bedroom has a comfy queen bed, soft linens, a large closet, built in drawers and a sliding door that opens to your patio and garden. The upstairs bedroom is a loft that opens to the living room. It has a comfy full bed, a walk-in closet and a robust library, including kids books. There is a convenient washer and dryer just steps away in garage. The homeowners live on the property, but the houses are separate.
One well behaved dog that gets along with other dogs are welcomed. We have many dogs in our neighborhood. The yard is fenced for a large dog, but a small dog could pass through the gate. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their dog and for any damage their pet may cause.
Parking is always available on the street. Please note that there is a 30 night minimum. Contact the host prior to booking if you have any questions.

About the host
Hosted by Marlie Schmidt
My husband and I have lived in San Luis Obispo for over three decades. We love our town and welcome the opportunity to share it with others. I am a retired educator and my husband is a retired firefighter who now owns a small consulting firm.
What makes this property unique
The location makes this house a great place. It is close to everything downtown. But, the San Luis Obispo Creek gives you the feeling of being out in the country. It is the best of both worlds. We are also fortunate to live on the friendliest block in SLO.
