Lara was able to accommodate us last minute, which was wonderful. She was an excellent host, very kind and helpful. We were worried about getting a taxi to airport in the morning, and she booked it for us, so it went as smooth as could be. The stairs are long, and the shower tiny (I'm overweight and honestly almost didn't get in), but we made it work.
This room does not have air conditioning. While the nights get cooler, we eventually had to close the windows because of street noise (it was a week night). I think that was our biggest challenge.
