Incredibly nice and up to date apartment with new everything! Most importantly, Ari is a super nice guy who you can really tell cares about taking care of his guests. He has a person who lives in the building who helps with key exchange, which is super convenient. I didn't meet Ari directly, but he was super responsive and definitely cared about my stay. The apartment finish out is even nicer than the pics. The shower is a fire hose with tons of pressure and hot water. The apt is very small (about the size of a hotel room), but the perfect size for a traveller. The only downside to my stay that the apt is very loud. Really loud all night long from the busy street outside and the train that runs all night - there is a train crossing one block away so the crossing alarms to warn traffic go off all night too. If you don't mind loud noise, you can't beat this apartment or Ari's hospitality.
