The property is in a lovely area surrounded by wineries, including some very good ones (VJB, Ty Caton). The house is comfortable, clean (except the oven), charming garden, well furnished. Could use a few more amenities, like an iron and an ironing board, a tea kettle, lamps on both sides of the beds rather than just one. The owner is super nice, and very helpful by email. The drive into Santa Rosa is about ten minutes... fantastic area for biking, too. Kenwood had some major damage from the fires, but it was localized and many blocks from this rental. You don’t see it, or smell smoke, or anything. More broadly, you can visit and enjoy Sonoma without feeling that the area is a war zone, the way the news made it sound. These fires were horrible but also patchy, and the vast majority of Sonoma Valley is totally untouched, even right in Kenwood which might have seemed likely to be about as impacted as could be found. So don’t hesitate and come visit a stunningly lovely area, with sensational wines, fantastic restaurants, and really nice people. The aftermath of the fires won’t somehow ruin the visit.
