Ariel is a superbly considerate host. Everything was ready and completely user friendly. I had an early morning/early evening schedule, so I hardly ran across him, but there was never any problem. It was completely comfortable, functional, clean. Lovely neighborhood. Everything he made it out to be. Much better than a hotel. If the location works for you (it is a bit of a hike uphill if your visiting UCLA), I would definitely recommend it.
