Barbara's place was beyond expectation - incredible hospitality, super clean (pristine!), perfect location. I loved the layout of her space - the backyard is huge and well decorated, very inviting and cozy and the interior is well lit and immaculately taken care of. She had several books I enjoyed reading, one of which was the history of Los Angeles and she had great stories of living in LA the last few decades. The bedroom I stayed in was well maintained, orderly, and spotless - she even provided a very warm blanket when I mentioned I got a bit chilly which resolved my issue after the first night. It was a pleasure being a guest in her home and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Barbara for welcoming me to LA with open arms and a wonderful place to stay for my first Airbnb experience :)
