Beautiful area but not a good rental
First of all, there are several misleading things in the listing. The pool is not heated. It's "heated by the sun" to quote the owner's son, and I'm not referring to solar panels. The washer and dryer are outside and are shared by another rental unit and the owner's son. There is no dishwasher, which probably was advertised correctly, but just be forewarned. This unit appears to be a converted barn. There are critters. I killed 5 large wolf spiders in one day, and many crickets and mosquitoes got inside. The windows aren't sealed well. There are squirrels or something living under the eaves and you can hear them skittering around. The water stopped working for a day and a half, and the shower started leaking into the kitchen floor. The owner sent his son and then his landscaper to try and fix it, neither of whom knew what to do because a plumber was needed. We ended up spending 3 nights of the month In a hotel due to these issues. It's very hard to regulate the temperature because of the loft design. The bottom level has a cold concrete floor, but if you turn on the heat it gets unbearably warm up where the bed is. And yes, it is cold at night and sometimes all day during winter in Napa!
Finally, for a place that requires a month long rental, the furniture is very uncomfortable. Very stiff chairs in the kitchen and living area and just an okay sofa. The kitchen is ill equipped. There were no drinking glasses except wine glasses and no casserole dishes. This is all such a shame because the property and area are truly beautiful to look at and walk around.
