My wife and I wanted a clean, comfortable, quiet place to stay over a few days of wine tasting in Sonoma and Napa. We wanted to be able to eat-in most of the time and be in a central location. All of the above was delivered in this efficient studio apartment. A good value for a very pleasant stay.

My second stay here. It's a perfect little place for me when I come back home to Santa Rosa for a visit. It's quiet, cozy, and cute. It's perfect for one or a couple. The host family is friendly, and their back yard is beautiful. It's also very conveniently located. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, but just across the street from a Safeway. Thank you again for another nice stay, I'm sure I'll be back!

I was happy to find this property available for the dates I needed. It is in a nice neighborhood, easy to find, easy to negotiate onto the property, plenty of parking. The unit was clean and had every amenity that I wanted. Very comfortable. I appreciated the little touches and would definitely recommend a stay here. I was here to visit friends, but if you are coming up to wine country, this location is very centrally located to many great wineries, restaurants and is not far from a nice, old downtown.

It was a most comfortable space with a lovely backyard. I loved the personal touch of having morning coffee (and filters) as I can't survive without my morning coffee. The host even supplied creamer! Much appreciated. I will be back as I plan to visit mom again at Christmas. Conveniently located and near Safeway too. Very clean space. John was available by text and get back to me very quickly.
