A unique experience very different from a typical hotel! The location is in a residential neighborhood between homes, so very different from your typical hotel. The ample free snacks and drinks were a great perk. The shared common kitchen/dining room/porch were beautiful. The bedroom itself was a little small, and only a queen bed -- and only stairs, no elevator -- but the bathroom/shower was large and lovely. The host was frendly and communicative. Free street parking is available, no $40/night that you might have to pay at other hotels. A great place overall!

SO cute, great location

I had such an AMAZING stay here! I had to find last minute accommodations for a 1 night stay and The Sono totally exceeded my expectations! When I booked, it wasn't clear that it was actually a bed and breakfast and not a hotel, but that was a great surprise! My flight arrived around 9pm and, despite the late arrival time, an employee met me at the front gate and carried my luggage to my room for me! The entire place was SUPER clean and I felt really comfortable and safe. You also can't beat the location!! Surrounded by gorgeous brownstones--it feels like you are a part of the beautiful neighborhood. It's also extremely close to the brown el train and a few bus lines as well. One small thing was that I needed Q-tips and they don't provide any in the bathroom, which I usually expect as a typical hotel offering--but that's more of a suggestion than a critique. Thank you again for making my short stay at The Sono so memorable!
