Lara is a great host. We stayed for a month, and she was very helpful and responsive if we needed anything both before and during our stay, but we otherwise felt we had complete privacy.
Our only issue was that the place had an ant infestation. They appeared one day and before we knew it, we were killing 50+ ants a day. We let Lara know and she sprayed pesticide around the house the same day, but this did not help. We went out and bought ant traps, which took a few days to work but eventually helped significantly. (Down to just a few ants each day). Lara was also eager to resolve the issue and offered to bring an exterminator in to spray the inside of the unit (we declined), and then eventually a more natural solution, but at this point we were getting ready to leave.
