This place was perfect. Perfect location. So clean and comfy. We enjoyed this place as much as any place we've ever stayed. The bedroom was so quiet, and the bed so comfortable, we slept great. Its like everything we could have wanted was there. The balcony overlooking main street was great fun. There was a parking pass, complimentary snacks and waters. Plenty of towels, soap, and a makeup mirror. My wife loved this, as its pretty rare in other rentals. Many try to acheive COZY, this place is truly cozy. We loved this little hideaway, and would stay here again in a minute. Thank You

Golf Rush trip with grandchildren

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. It is beautifully furnished and there are excellent instructions for check in and check out procedures. The apartment is upstairs, so stair access is necessary. The owners have worked out good solutions for parking, since curbside parking is limited. The apartment is located right on Hwy 49, which has lots of traffic. But traffic noise was not an issue inside the apartment, and we enjoyed watching from the balcony as the logging trucks drive by. The location is only steps away from downtown restaurants and shops, which is ideal. We certainly would recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Ideal

This place has everything one could want in Sonora. The location couldn't be better--you can walk to all of the historic downtown attractions, including museums and monuments, boutiques, antique stores, thrift shops, restaurants, and more. People-watching from the private balcony is a must. The apartment is very comfortable. It has a lovely kitchenette fully supplied with cookware, plates, etc., and the separate bedroom is quiet with a nice queen bed and a full bath in the hall. Everything is highly organized and labeled. Additionally, I would be remiss if I didn't point out the hosts' outstanding communication, which was virtually instantaneous whenever I had a question. In fact, one night there was a Sonora-wide power outage, and as soon as I texted the owners, Pat was there with a back-up battery to get me through the night. I had a terrific experience and will definitely be back!

Absolutely perfect location for our trip. We were able to walk to the graduation ceremony. In fact, we spent the majority of our stay at the apartment sharing meals (kitchen well stocked) and visiting on the balcony while watching the goings on on Washington street. Clean Comfortable Great location

5.5 stars!

This little apartment was adorable and the location can’t be beat in the sweet town of Sonora. The hosts were attentive and helpful, there was all the necessities available and more and we took advantage of the balcony several times. The master bed was very comfortable (i should mention that the guest that stayed in the front room said it was quite loud and a bit challenging to sleep but they did have sound machines in both rooms) and there was plenty of space to enjoy breakfast at the counter and play a board game we brought while listening to the hustle and bustle below. Lots of cute restaurants, coffee places and shops in walking distance.

Perfect apartment in a great location

This apartment was beyond what we expected. The kitchen was well stocked with many things beyond pots and pans. It had coffee, tea, spices and oils among other items. There were candles, games and books. All above a normal listing. The location was great to walk around town. The Fire Museum and Veteran’s Museum were both interesting with helpful people to explain their items. We would definitely return to this property.

Convenient Location

The apartment was as described and pictured. This property was ideally located near restaurants, shops, and museums. Just a couple doors south was the Bagel Bin which was convenient for breakfast and lunch bagels. Definitely take advantage of this "restaurant" for eat in or carry out, but get there early for the best choice. Can't beat the prices at the Bagel Bin. Also take the time to visit the fire museum and the veterans museum. We had a 7 day stay, so parking required us to move the car a few times to avoid ticketing. The location near the fire museum made it easy to park overnight on the days when street parking was limited. The apartment could accommodate 4, but we would not recommend it for an extended stay for 4 adults. Fine for a family of 4 with small children. The hide-a-bed was located in the living room on the street side of the apartment. The apartment is located on the main drag through the town and street noise was relatively loud. The main bedroom is in the back of the apartment and the street noise was hardly noticeable there. The apartment was well stocked with various herbs and spices and coffee, tea, bottled water, and various drinks. We purchased a few staples for the times we ate in the apartment. The interior of the apartment was nicely renovated, but the real pleasure was to be located in one of the old buildings along Washington Street. This is a great place to stay if you want to get the feel of old Sonora. It also served as a very good location to visit neighboring towns and Yosemite. We also recommend Columbia House restaurant in nearby Columbia. Try their bruschetta and one of their freshly made salads. A stop by the visitor center on South Washington Street in Sonora is a must. There is some inexpensive public transportation. We didn't use it, but it is available if you care to do the research. Any questions we had were promptly addressed by the host.
