I loved this place. I have stayed in atleast 20 airbnb's in the past three years ... and Lara's place is one of the best places I have stayed ... it is everything it promises (exactly as represented/priced).

I had read an earlier review about there being a slight smell from the toilet. I can tell you that it was hot in Paris the week I was there (September 2016) and there was no bad smell. I have a strong nose for things like this and I noticed nothing. I stayed there a week with my partner, and we had the best time.

Lara's place is clean and comfortable. The neighborhood on the weekend was of course logically rowdy at night ... but otherwise, I slept really well at night (it was very quite). It was exactly what I had hoped for. Lara is a great host, very responsive, kind, and friendly. She has all sorts of travel guides for the city that were really helpful.

True ... it is up one flight of stairs (easy to access) ... and her place is not the largest (you get what you pay for in the heart of Paris) ... but the location is perfect. I HIGHLY recommend her place to anyone serious about comfort, security, location, cleanliness, and convenience.

Next time I am in Paris, I will definitely stay at this same place again :-)
