Barbara and her place are absolute gems! Everything about this experience, beginning with the first contact, was an absolute delight. Barbara‘s place is in an excellent location and it is sparkling clean – and she has filled it with thoughtful touches at every turn, including treats in the refrigerator and on the table, as well as in the bathroom. She is so beautifully hospitable, with a lovely spirit! Her cat Mau Mau is also a delight — a cozy, quiet presence, and never obtrusive. Also, I live in Los Angeles and needed a place to stay for the weekend – as someone who knows the city well, I can say the experience of staying at Barbara‘s place was perfect, and I would definitely stay again!
