Lara's place is in the St Gilles district, only a few minutes from the Horta premetro stop. Lara wasn't there to meet us, but we easily found the keys in the keybox. We had some trouble locating the right door to the apartment, but Lara was quick to answer when contacted and was generally very helpful. The place is beautiful and clean, and there's a well equipped kitchen and nice living room with a big comfortable sofa. Outside there is a Coop Express supermarket, which is even open on Sundays (while many other shops are not).
One issue we had with the apartment, which is in no way Lara's fault, is that the bedroom/bathroom loft has a very low ceiling. Based on the pictures I had presumed it the ceiling was high enough for people to stand upright, as I saw that the shower is located on the loft. However, for two tall people like us, the loft ceiling was a bit too low. I myself was barely able to stand straight on the loft, but I could no longer stand upright in the bathtub while taking a shower (making washing my hair somewhat problematic). My boyfriend, on the other hand, couldn't stand upright at all on the loft. Thus, I would warn anyone above 170cm that they might struggle in this apartment.
Another thing worth noting is that Lara's apartment and the neighbours' apartment used to be one big apartment, and so they are only separated by a thin door. This means that sound carries well between the apartments. When we arrived the neighbours were playing music, which was heard very loudly into our apartment, so we were a bit concerned about what the noise level was going to be over the weekend. Still, aside from this occurrence, the neighbours were very quiet; however, guests should be aware of the thin walls (also as to not cause too much noise themselves). As the apartment is on the bottom floor and the entry to the building is right next to it, there is also some sound when people walk in and out. However, in general the house was very quiet when we visited.
Overall, Lara's apartment is a nice, clean studio with ample space for two people. Lara is also a helpful host who answers any questions quickly. The neighbourhood is decent and public transport is easily accessible, and if you feel like it, it is also not too far to walk into the city center (it took us around 30-40 minutes). However, if you are tall people and stay in this apartment, do be aware that you might not be able to stand upright while taking a shower or being on the loft.
