Our stay at Barbara's was great- the location was perfect for anyone who wants to see Oakland and San Francisco, being that it was about a 5 minute walk to the BART station. We arrived fairly late and fairly jet lagged, but Barbara was there to welcome us with a nice cold beer! She had left some great leaflets and information in the room for us, which was ace as it told us about some amazing food places in Oakland! (Beauty's bagel shop round the corner definitely up there as the favourite!)
The room was perfectly formed for two people with a comfy bed, so three great nights sleep- didn't even hear a peep out of the chickens!
Barbara was a lovely host, helped us out but also let us get on with our trip too! Very welcoming and easy going- thanks Barbara!
