Barbara's place was stylishly decorated. It was a 20 minute walk to the gold line, which was good as we didn't have a car. The area felt extremely pleasant and safe. There are plenty of grocery stores, restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. Being under the main house there was some overhead noise early in the morning. There was a fridge, microwave and coffee maker as well as single serve creamer. There were no plates or bowls etc but I'm sure I could have asked Barbara for some as she was very responsive. The bathroom has a low ceiling so the shower was a bit of a challenge for my 6'2" husband. Doable but just something to note.
