Lara’s place was perfect for us! Cosy, comfortable and cost friendly! Very near a metro station, which we used profusely. Great check in method because we ran late coming in from London. I was so amazed how insulated the walls were, couldn’t here the neighbors at all! Be aware there are stairs and no lift, but that wasn’t really a problem for us. We stayed for a while, 2 weeks, so lugging up our bags was worth it. Lot’s of places nearby for food and wine! Very glad for the washer, but took a while to figure out how to use it. The bathroom was fine, but it was a bit amusing to wash my face(I have a particular skin care routine), the sink is narrow length wise, so I had to turn at an angle so I didn’t get water all over the floor! The only greatest con was the mosquitos, which was definitely not in Lara’s power to change. When we arrived, it was pretty warm in Paris, so we left the windows open, mosquitos got in and devoured by boyfriend. I had much less bites. Upon further investigation, we noticed flower pots with still water on the hallway window next to us. To prevent more bites, we had to close the window and keep the fan on. Otherwise a great place to stay and come home to at the end of a long day.
