Barbara had a great communication from the moment I booked the room. She welcomed me to use the living room, kitchen, fridge, the deck outside, etc. She was very kind and helpful to suggest where to find things in the area. She also always let me know in advance when I would have to share the bathroom with another guest so there were absolutely no issues whatsoever! Her super host status is well earned and deserved.
My personal message to my fellow travelers: the host lives in the apartment so always be mindful and respectful as you would expect the same from others.
