This is the second time I've stayed at Barbara's, and it was just as lovely as the first. Staying here is like coming home to the family (but without having to deal with family). She goes to a great deal of effort to make sure that the room is comfortable and provides a lot of extras like snacks and hygiene items in case you forgot something. The neighborhood is quiet and easy to navigate, with enough stores and restaurants within walking distance to make my own lack of a car a non-issue, and there is a bus stop right by the house and more nearby, and since Barbara provides information about the bus routes, it is very easy to get around.
