I chose Barbara's listing because of proximity to Bart and a nearby neighborhood shopping and eating area (Temescal). The price was modest and as I discovered it is a very good value. Her home is comfortable, tasteful, and I felt very much at ease. I was offered a beverage upon arrival and enjoyed a brief visit with Barbara before heading out. I was offered wine upon my return that evening and had my fill of excellent coffee in the morning. The room plenty large, the king bed very comfortable. Very quiet all night. I really enjoyed talking with Barbara and had to remind myself that I had to go meet up with friends. I'll definitely stay here when I my travels take me to East Bay.
