The apartment is really well located. It's small, but tastefully decorated and comfortable. I didn't meet Lara, though she was always quick to respond to text messages. Like one of the previous reviewers, I was surprised at simple omissions like hand soap - for me that's a basic thing that should be provided. The same review mentioned that the fan wasn't working - that was still the case when I was there. Lara suggested that I go and buy another one and she would reimburse me, which is fine, but I didn't have the time to go fan shopping. Lara was able to provide a new one herself when she was in Paris at the end of the week.
However, the biggest problem for me was a constant high pitched sound that I could hear 24 hours a day - something like the pitch of a vacuum cleaner. I spoke to the neighbours and they confirmed that this was an ongoing problem. No-one seemed to know the source, but it must be some sort of fan outlet for one of the shops/businesses nearby. For me it was a real problem and stopped me sleeping, though none of the other reviews have mentioned it, so it could well be that I'm over sensitive!
If those issues could be resolved, it would be a great place to stay.
