Staying at Lara's was ok, but there was definitely some things that bothered me. The mattress was really uncomfortable with really worn out springs, and I really am not a person to complain easily. Plus the rug in the room is really dusty which makes sleeping on the bottom bed (10cm from the floor) even worse.
The shower cabin is not frequently cleaned by the looks of it (the thing that bothered me the most was the mold and brown limescale).
They do have a really cute cat, but if you pet it often it will definitely try to run in your room as soon as you open the door, and it takes a while to lure it back out, especially if you don't like animals on your bed.
All in all it wasn't terrible, I liked the fridge space, but felt really weird eating with plastic knives and forks and on plastic plates, but that's probably just me.
As I said it wasn't terrible but I definitely would not recommend if you have another option, the lack of cleanliness was the main thing that bothered me, because it is the main reason I don't go to hostels, but here I must say it wasn't much better.
The neighborhood is ok, it's zone 2 and it has a good connection to the city center by bus or train. The location is by far the best thing about this place.
