This home is in a good central location. Having a home base in Northwest Santa Rosa, minutes to 101 and Highway 12 made day trips easy everywhere we wanted to visit: the Pacific Coast and Bodega Bay, Armstrong Redwoods and the Russian River Valley, Healdsburg and points north, Sebastopol and West County, Santa Rosa’s parks, museums, historic downtown with shopping and restaurants, Sonoma Valley and beyond. Three bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom made traveling with a group of adults easier and more relaxing than it would have been sharing bathrooms or in a hotel. One bedroom was on the first floor, so perfect if someone in the group doesn’t want to do stairs. Sound didn’t travel much between rooms or from the common area, so it was easy to get a good night’s sleep. Plenty of linens and blankets in each room. The laundry on the second floor was very handy too.The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed, pantry basics like spices, coffee and filters, and quite a few things that could be useful for a longer stays if you’re cooking at home (waffle maker, rice cooker, ice machine, juicer, barware, multiple options for making coffee (drip brewer, keurig, pourover))The open kitchen, dining, living room on the first floor made it simple to gather for breakfast in the morning, and hang out after a full day. The outside space was small, but the view past the backyard fence to walking trails, open sky and the hills beyond was lovely and relaxing. The dining table
