I was extremely happy with Ari's place. The other reviews are more than accurate, but I was so pleased I wanted to chime in.
First, the host truly cares about the experience you have. If you like hotels (and who doesn't) this apartment will give you that feeling *and more.* Don't waste $400/night at a hotel, stay at Ari's.
My stay was for 3 nights. The fridge had key things you'd need (incl candy, and I put that in the "need" category), and there were amenities in the bathroom as well. My chargeable Panasonic toothbrush died but no worries-- they had a travel toothbrush kit in the cabinet! Unlike at a hotel, no extra charges for whatever you use, which is awesome.
I'm not a drinker, but there were beers in the fridge and even wine available. I prefer tea, and a kettle was right there. Score! Prefer coffee? They got that, too.
Untimately, you can show up at Ari's with just the clothes on your back and a few toiletries and you're good to go.
Things can go wrong, and for a bit the internet went down, but what matters is how the host reacts when there's an issue: I messaged Ari, he responded within 5 minutes and was right on it with the ISP. It was fixed fast.
There's no bathtub, but the shower is *fantastic,* & includes a rainshower head.
Parking in a secure garage, near everything, and a quiet bluilding. I'm a writer, and was able to get lots of work done.
The apt is beautifully renovated and appointed, but the rest of the bldg is not, but don't let that put you off, it's not really a factor in the experience.
I also appreciated the fact that I encountered security guards in and outside of the bldg keeping an eye on things. There's a doorman and a secure front entrance. The apt is on the first floor & faces the street but is obscured by plants and trees, and I found no issues with noise. AC/heaters in both the LR and BR.
You can't go wrong.
Thanks Ari and Shab for making it so easy :)
