Lara’s place almost could not be in a better location, close to many nice restaurants, prepared foods to take out, markets, interesting shops, two metro stops, the charm of being in the Marais and within walking distance of many of the sites of interest in Paris. Although relatively simple in style, it is very comfortable for two people and has many thoughtful touches such as a mini library and books about Paris. The bathroom has been updated and the studio was immaculately clean. I especially appreciated communication with Lara both before and during my visit as she checked to make sure everything was going well. Overall an excellent value and a comfortable stay.
