Lara's apartment is perfect! The location couldn't be better. I few blocks to the train, and a few blocks to the lake. We unfortunately didn't even get to meet Lara even though it's a shared space, it's very private. I was a little worried about the stairs, but it was so easy and really lovely. If you're not used to sleeping with city noise, it might be a little loud with the windows open, but I really enjoyed it. Can't beat the value of this place. Would love to stay there again!
