The location is quiet, safe, charming, and literally across the street from the start of the downtown area. The room is well appointed, with a kitchen and refrigerator (although with all the restaurants you won't need it). Healdsburg is a very walkable town with many things to do a short distance from studio. One could easily drive to redwoods, explore wine country, or follow the Russian River as it winds down to the Pacific. I, however, was content to stay in town and enjoy the relaxing slow pace of Healdsburg.
