About this property

Convenient free parking and located directly on Washington Street, the main street of the historic, Gold Rush town of Sonora, is our recently remodeled apartment with a bit of the old character left behind. The unit has a balcony overlooking Washington Street, nicely equipped kitchen (Silverware, Coffee Maker, Microwave, Oven, Stove, Refrigerator, Pots/Pans, Dishes, etc) and is steps from shopping and restaurants. Just an hour from the entrance to Yosemite, skiing at Dodge Ridge, Big Trees State Park, Murphys (wine tasting), Historic Columbia and Jamestown.

Bedroom in the back is seprarate from the living space and quiet (away from the road) and has a Luxury Saatva mattress. Fold out couch has a memory foam mattress and comfortably sleeps 2 but please note that the unit is right on Washington st so you may hear traffic noise in the morning if you are a light sleeper. A white noise machine is provided if needed

Most guests prefer to park at the fire museum lot which allows for overnight parking but is limited to 3 hours from 8:00am to 6:00pm weekdays. A dedicated parking spot is also provided on the second floor of the parking garage across the street.

Perfect launching point for day trips around Gold Country and into the High country. Great location for walking downtown and exploring nearby museums (Tuolumne County Museum, Fire Museum, Veterans Museum), restaurants and shops.

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!

Great view of downtown Sonora

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

Granddaughter graduation

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.

Downtown Sonora Gem

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!

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.

Why they chose this property

When we saw the for sale sign on the building we immediately called our realtor. It is an amazing property and the perfect location. The apartment was remodeled with top end design and has everything you need for your visit to Sonora, Yosemite and the surrounding area.
