Barbara is a great person, an absolute sweetheart, and my stay felt as if staying at a friend's home. She was super responsive during the stay, even when she was not in town. The room was large with a lot of closet space, windows with shades, and a wall-AC as well. The kitchen was open to use and actually fully stocked, you can tell Barbara also lives here as it has full appliances, cooking utensils, plates, cups, and the basic cooking necessities available for use. The communal vibe is just like that of a hostel, the main room has a dining table and hammock. The bathroom was shared with another room, and although sometimes the other guests made it messy, Barbara was super quick and responsive to take care of it. There is a cleaner who comes in every week, and there is a washing machine, no dryer it is air dry, however the washing machine was usually being used to wash sheets so I did laundry once there and once at a local laundromat. I would recommend Barbara's place, the atmosphere of the house is peaceful and rejuvinating, and the location is perfect!
