Ariel was a fantastic host. He graciously allowed my mom to stay with me for a week and even procured an extra key for her. He's really laid back and tries his best to make sure that you have a comfortable stay; he offered tons of suggestions for places to go and eat at, and he's really easy to talk to, while still making sure to give you your own space. I probably saw him more than the other guests, much to my benefit and their loss.

I was in LA for ten weeks working for a law firm, and sometimes, if I had a late night, Ariel would text me to let me know that he had extra food on the table under some aluminum foil for me, if I was hungry. In short, his place is lovely, and Ariel himself is a really generous and kind host, both with his space as well as his time.

Fun fact: The modern art pieces in his home that some of the reviewers have raved about are actually pieces that he made!
