My 8-day stay at Ari's place was perfect. Check-in was a breeze, he provides terrific instructions, several suggestions for local dining, and a stack of brochures for things to do. I worked out of the studio, so the desk was a great benefit. There is plenty of space, the furnishings are very nice, and the place feels like a home.
NoPa is a great neighborhood and Ari's place is a quick walk to two coffee places and across the street from Bob's Dounts. There are also plenty of places to eat and a couple of upscale markets within just a few blocks. I had a car and was able to locate street parking with no problems at all.
I definitely recommend Ari's studio.
