This is a great place to stay. Good for a girls getaway or a few couples. We had 4 people and it was perfect. One of the rooms has a bathroom included. The place was clean, well stocked, it has a nice deck along the back. It is an upstairs to the owner. We did not see Jenny but she was very responsive. Great location, very close to the old Sonoma square, near wineries, and thrift stores, if you like that. The botanical garden is nearby too. I highly recommend this place. Jenny left us a yummy almond torte, which was great with coffee in the morning.

Sweetest host! Went out of her way to help my friend surprise me with treats upon arrival. Adorable house with 3 bedrooms & 2 baths; decor is beautiful. Back porch and yard just perfect. Close to town square in Sonoma. This was my 2nd stay at Jenny's home, and I would for sure choose this host and home if I go back!
