Nice Place with Decent Amenities
Cute BnB just on the edge of downtown.
Disclaimer: I'm not BnB person so take what follows with that in mind.
My first impressions were challenged by the number of eMail messages including what seemed to be a very involved "contract" for the one-night stay as well as enough signatures to think I was buying property. I received no fewer than four messages before the stay, including at least one advising I should install their app. Why I'd install an app for a BnB in Sonoma befuddles the mind.
Secondly, the check-in was slightly less than smooth but got the job done. The room was nice and the bed super-comfortable so that was a plus. The bathroom in the unit I was in (Ella) could use some significant updating, however. It's a nice property with a few different outside seating areas, including one with a fire pit. We tried one area but the "fire towers" (whatever they're called) had empty propane tanks so that was a non-starter. The fire pit worked so that was good.
The BnB has like five rooms total (two downstairs, three upstairs) and was quiet. Breakfast the next morning was filling and a nice start, though it would've been nice to be given some options.
Pros: Bed, happy-hour complimentary wine service, a nice bar across the street, breakfast service, fire pit.
Cons: Pre-stay eMail communications, bathroom condition, check-in.
Overall: I'd go back but alter my expectations and pick a different room.
