The property was exactly as listed, maybe better than the photos. Everything was pristine and tasteful. As mentioned in previous reviews, the bed was amazing. Communication with Michael was exemplary.A very quick walk to Downtown (10 mins max) with numerous shops, bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Great property, everything as advertised! Perfect for a girls trip - easy walking distance to downtown great restaurants! Host very responsive.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved our stay at this property. It was absolutely beautiful and so well setup. While the photos are well represented, we were even more impressed in person. The property is in a great location with a quick walk to bars & restaurants. It’s also well equipped for eating in with Micheal supplying many of your basic cooking essentials, which was also very impressive. In addition Michael provided detailed information for our stay and was very quick & helpful to respond to the few inquiries we had. We highly recommend this property & hope we have a chance to stay again in the future.

10.0 / 10.0

A premier residence; superior kitchen, decor, accessories, and location. Spacious; photos are accurate. On-site parking, secure, safe attractive neighborhood. Walkable to downtown, grocery shops, restaurants. Easy vehicular access in/out. This met and exceeded expectations, and has our highest recommendation.

10.0 / 10.0

The home is exactly as described. We had a great time and the location was perfect. Would stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

Fantastic rental. My daughter is still talking about how cozy and comfortable her bed was. The house was exceptionally clean and inviting. The host included thoughtful details like snacks and restaurant recommendations. There is some light that comes in through the blinds in the master, so I'd recommend bringing a sleep mask, but everything else was perfect!

10.0 / 10.0

Such a great little house; conveniently located so we could walk to cute cafes, grab Thai takeout, or walk downtown. The deck in the kitchen had great natural light made which made for a fabulous remote work set-up. Would stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

The Central Coast is home for us though we currently live in TX. Knowing SLO, we thought the location would be good, but it was better than expected. The house provides an easy walk to downtown eating, drinking, and shopping. And very nearby are some great restaurants and cafés to enjoy. The weather in SLO could not be better, balancing the coastal fog and the warmer temperatures in the North County. The house itself is historic but very clean and updated. The back patio provided a nice place to unwind with a fire and nice breeze.

Wonderful! This is our second visit the house is clean, comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need! Thank you again Michael

The homeowner took special care when renovating this historic home. Beautifully done! We were all very impressed with the cleanliness and amenities offered to us from the homeowner. The location is perfect for a short stroll into town or just across the street to a few fantastic restaurants. We enjoyed every moment and plan on returning soon!

10.0 / 10.0

Super neat space, probably the cleanest rental I’ve stayed in. Everything in the home is very curated, and makes the home inviting.

10.0 / 10.0

Clean, welcoming, and perfect. I was able to have a quiet space to work remotely while my daughter attended Cal Poly events. The home was a fantasic landing space for us and her friends. Comfy bed, lots of device charging options, great soaps/shampoos, top of the line appliances - so awesome.

Overall fabulous

10.0 / 10.0

Loved the house from the beginning - it is as lovely as portrayed in the pictures and more. We were greeted with snacks and a bottle of wine. The decor is what you wish you had in your own home and there is all you need to stay comfortably. Felt like we were visiting our friends’ home. Loved that we could walk everywhere. Communication with Michael was easy and enjoyable - he is professional and prompt and helpful. Everything was clean and comfortable, and even the bathroom lotion smells good! Cannot recommend this little gem enough!

10.0 / 10.0

Would give a 100 rating if I could! Everything we could possibly need was in the home, and the space is even nicer than the pictures online. The location was absolutely perfect for walking into town to all the best restaurants. Would definitely recommend! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

The house is well decorated and the amenities are well thought out. I appreciated the attention to detail and the tech throughout the house (smart tv, Sonos speakers, Tesla charger) will absolutely stay again!

Beautifully renovated home! Comfortable with all the amenities. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. The host was easy to communicate with prior to arrival and very responsive during our stay. Will definitely be staying again when we return to San Luis Obispo.

The photos don’t do justice to this adorable house. It was so clean and so nicely decorated. It is also located close to downtown and with ample parking. I especially liked the nice amenities like thick, absorbent towels, a nicely stocked kitchen and beautiful yard. Also, the host was amazing with great communication! The visit was simply wonderful!

Husband and I had a great time staying at the railroad house in SLO. The home is beautiful, super clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. Pictures are definitely accurate. Michael was a great host, very responsive, and we appreciated all the little treats and extras. Neighborhood is walking distance (about 5-6 blocks) to the main downtown area so we didn’t have to deal with parking when we wanted to go for shopping or dinner. A few restaurants across the street too - tried the Thai one and it was very good. Area is across from Amtrack station but felt very safe to walk around. Was quiet at night (and yes, the bed was super comfy) but street outside the bedroom window does get a little noisier and busy in the morning with cars. I can highly recommend staying here, and am super happy to have a place to stay again when we are back in the area.

10.0 / 10.0

Spent a few days here while visiting SLO. Beautiful home in a great location. Very comfortable home with off street parking. We appreciated the coffee and snacks that were provided. Great dining options just a few blocks walk.

This is a lovely, beautifully decorated property. Excellent location—coffee shop and restaurants just across the street, and short 10-15 minute walk to downtown. Great host and amenities!

10.0 / 10.0

What a great stay we had in SLO. The Rail Road House location was perfect for us. We have family who lives close by. On top of that, the house was clean, spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Downtown restaurants and shops are within walking distance or a short drive away. There are corner grocery/deli's near by if you need anything during your stay. The property is located on a well traveled street and not too far from the train station, it was not a bother to us at all...we did not hear a train too early or too late. The host communication was great and very helpful with our stay. I would recommend the Rail Road House to friends and family and will definitely be back again! 5-Star all around!!

10.0 / 10.0

My family enjoyed our stay at this home. The location is convenient to SLO and the surrounding area. The host was easy to reach and replied quickly when needed. The home was perfect for my family. I would recommend it for anyone considering a visit.

10.0 / 10.0

The home was beautifully appointed and comfortable. The owners added some special touches and embrace tech. It was an easy walk into the heart of San Luis where there are great restaurants and shopping. Definitely check out Thursday's Farmer's Market on Higuera. It was only two of us, but the house had a great children's room for a family. The front bedroom does get some street noise, but the bed is so wonderfully comfy you sleep well regardless. We hope to stay again in the future.

10.0 / 10.0

If the average vacation rental is an eight or a nine, this one has to be a 12 or 13. Impeccably maintained house. Every detail was thought through. From lit up light switches to easily see in the dark, and extremely well equipped kitchen, directions or instructions on anything in the house to be used, to very specific check-in instructions sent by email so you don’t have to use the app or can share with other people that are joining you. I travel a lot and almost always stay in vacation rentals but very rarely have I seen the attention to detail this host has put in. Staying in this house will make the Four Seasons look like a Motel 6

10.0 / 10.0

This historic house was well maintained and nicely updated. It was in a great location and close enough to walk downtown to the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the evening with a glass of wine. We will definitely stay there again!

10.0 / 10.0

Wonderful home in the railroad district of SLO Nicely remodeled, inviting house with big kitchen with everything you need for cooking, great backyard for relaxing, walkable location to downtown and cafe across the park served delicious breakfast and lunch. Road noise a minimum due to noise machines in each bedroom. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets, pillows. Great communication with host. We really enjoyed SLO and look forward to staying in this house in the future.

From the moment you arrive, Michael’s house is delightful! The yard is well maintained. Upon entering the house a Welcome message, snacks and wine! The house is as pictured. Neat and clean and well appointed. There were breakfast items in the pantry! We’ll stay here again!

Came to visit my daughter at Cal Poly, with my niece and sister. The house was perfect as walking distance to town and we ate breakfast in sally loos across the street . Well equipped and beautifully decorated ( photos don’t do it justice ) we will be again.

This home is so stylish and comfortable!! Top notch amenities and technology! We enjoyed a glass of wine around the firepit, made a delicious dinner in the gorgeous kitchen and enjoyed a restful and deep sleep on the purple mattress bed in the primary bedroom! Kids seemed to love the daybed and trundle as they went to bed early and we didn’t hear from them all night!! There are several little touches throughout. Pancake mix, flour, sugar, coffee beans, oatmeal, a yummy bottle of wine, snacks, laundry supplies. We truly were offered anything that we could need. The location is fantastic, a block or two away from the cute SLO downtown area. Book this home- you won’t regret it!!!

10.0 / 10.0

What a great house to spend a family vacation in! The property was immaculately kept, had everything you would need, and made us feel right at home. Located just minutes from everything in SLO and only a short drive to Pismo or Morro. The only regret we had was that we couldn’t stay longer.

This 2br, 1ba property is gorgeously remodeled to a modern standard, and comes with everything you need for cooking and relaxing. Strong AC. For EV drivers, the 80 amp NACS (Tesla) charger is a pleasant surprise, and I was able to easily use if with an NACS to J1772 TeslaTap converter.

Beautiful property, very clean and tastefully renovated. We arrived a bit early because my kid had stomach problems. Michael was so nice to let us get into the property before check in time. He was a wonderful and attentive host. Everything was stocked nicely so we got everything we needed for the trip. The kids really enjoyed the trundle bed and the purple mattress was amazing! Thank you Michael.

This charming house was perfect for our girls trip. The house is clean, comfortable, and just a short walk to downtown. I only wish we had more time for a longer stay. I will definitely stay here again. Michael is also a great host and very responsive to messages. There were also sweet touches with snacks, water, and eggs already in the fridge. We were blown away. You will enjoy your stay here!!

We spent a lovely weekend in SLO visiting our son. The house was adorable, spotless and very comfortable. The beds were comfy, the house has been updated with very nice finishes. Backyard is cute and very private. House is also walking distance to downtown. We will definitely be back! Thank you again!

Since we were first time VRBO renters, we weren't sure of the process. But we were reassured form step one, with instructions and updates prompting us. Concierge service all the way. The place = equally beautiful and full of everything we needed. This is a property we'd want to return to.

10.0 / 10.0

My family and I were in town for the weekend and it was perfect fit! It’s a very charming and historic home within walking distance to downtown with a very cute breakfast spot just a black away. We were out and about enjoying the town most of the day but coming back to this house was super cozy! We would visit again.

Had a great stay at the Railroad House last weekend! This is a well appointed, stylish two-bedroom house that's been modernized yet has kept its historic charm. The house has nice sized spaces - living room, dining room, full kitchen (multiple coffee options :-) and decent size bedrooms - plenty of space for the four of us. The neighborhood has some great restaurants close by and it's a 10-15 minute walk downtown. Easy parking in the driveway. Michael was very responsive and answered all of our questions along the way. Great home base for our time in SLO.

10.0 / 10.0

This place is wonderful, not only is it beautifully decorated but there is even a Nespresso machine, Sonos speakers, Apple TV, .. Also, the host Michael was super accommodating. Even though he had guests scheduled to arrive on the same day of our departure, he arranged for a late checkout and also gave us tips for where to go in the town/what to do.
