This was our third stay at Barbara's Place. This is now home when we come to visit our son. Very Clean. So convenient to stores, grocery, restaurants, public transportation.1 mile or a bit more to Puget Sound. Walk to the locks and a beautiful small botanical garden. Friendly and welcoming. Kitchen is well stocked to cook at home if that is your thing. The new access to laundry was a welcome surprise. Barb and Taru were perfect hosts. We had another very lovely and stress free stay.
