I didn't actually meet Barbara in person but she made sure I had clear instructions on how to enter and answered my questions via email and phone message. She even told me to help myself to the wine and soda in the fridge, which was very sweet. The house itself was really cute. Hardwood floors, nicely decorated, spacious. The room itself has warm covers and a space heater if you need it. The only problem was that the neighborhood wasn't super comfortable for me as a single women. I definately wouldn't walk around by myself there (esp at night!) and wasn't even entirely comfortable alone in the house for the evening and was worried about my car (but it was fine). Others with good street smarts who are from a more urban environment may do fine though!
