We got to Barbara's place before she was back from work and she just let us let ourselves in - to be greeted by three lovely cats and a very cozy bedroom for our stay the next two nights. She was very welcoming and the place was very clean and comfortable. Gave us some tips about getting back out of the city heading north which saved us a lot of time - it's hard to time your trip to traffic that you aren't familiar with - so a helpful host during a roadtrip is essential!
