Because no explicit address can be given, it was tricky to find where we were staying even with the photos supplied. Otherwise the amenities, cleanliness and location were all stellar. We would definitely stay again
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
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.

Great location
Sonora is a great place for snowboarding skiing. Not too crowded. This is our fourth year staying at Pats place. My kids love Pats place. Central quite. Not crowded just enough traffic. Great host very clean super responsive. Thank you for hosting us.
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.
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!
The best hosts to interact with. They continue to enhance the property experience. Sonora needs more loyal property owners like Meredith & Patrick!Brad & Linda

We really loved this rental. Super cute and the bedroom is set in the back so it is quiet. The extra little touches that the owners did to welcome us really made this special. Plus, you can't beat the location in the heart of Sonora.
This is a great place to stay if you want to spend some time in the Sonora area. Located right downtown with loads of shampoo g and restaurants in walking distance. Owners have are very thoughtful! They even provide ear plugs in case the street noise bothers you. I highly recommend this listing!
Host was responsive and efficient. All of the basics are provided and the unit was very clean and relatively quiet. You are steps away from all that downtown has to offer.
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.
Pat and Meredith’s place was perfect for our snow trip. The house is super clean. Love the smart TVs. It’s was very kid row dog for our two boys. And, the welcome note was such a personal touch. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
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.
