Ariel has a quite pleasant apartment -- comfortable, clean, everything you'd want for an airbnb stay. It's in a quiet neighborhood that's maybe a 20-minute stroll from Westwood (one of the most interesting walking neighborhoods in LA) and UCLA. Unfortunately, Ariel and I didn't get a chance to meet while I was here, but he was very helpful with all the arrangements both while I was there and before I arrived. I'd definitely recommend staying at his home.
