The bungalow was a lovely and peaceful place to stay. The space was quiet, safe, and very comfortable.The setting is especially beautiful. I loved listening to the prolific birdsong in the morning, and at night the angel’s trumpet growing outside gave off the most wonderful fragrance. It made the whole place feel incredibly serene.A great place if you’re looking for somewhere calm and restorative.

Hi Roger I am sorry that the bed was uncomfortable for you. This is the first time I had a complaint about this in the entire time I have been in this business. Was there something wrong with the bed? I did not hear anything from you during your stay and cleaners did not say anything specifically about the bed. I am puzzled because I pride in everyone loving about the bed and sheets etc. etc. Please do notify me if something is wrong so we can fix it while you are staying with us. Thank you for choosing our Boutique Bungalows. This is the review from the guest who stayed just before your stay: Rachel (from the other mammoth STR platform) "I don’t have enough good things to say about this lovely cottage. It was clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed for a few days of touring Napa. I would highly recommend!" “We absolutely loved our stay! Thank you for having us!”

Cute, cozy, and easy

This was a really nice, cute, and cozy bungalow. My girlfriend and I were looking for an affordable place to stay near Napa, and this cottage in Vallejo worked out perfectly. It was an easy 30-min drive to the Oxbow Market in Downtown Napa. We also had amazing pizza at Napoli Pizza in Vallejo (a small but delicious pizza spot just a few blocks from the bungalow). The space in the cottage was relaxing, the bed was comfortable, and the use of the TV (with Netflix & Hulu access) was great! Highly recommend!
