GREAT HOST. Ari was very caring and attentive, and made sure I was comfortable in his apartment. Didn't hurt that his is totally cute as well (heh heh). :-)
The location of the apartment was convenient as I needed to be in East Harlem, and the 6 train (green line) is just a few blocks away, and there are a bunch of restaurants and delis and bars and banks and the East River shopping center ALL nearby. The apartment and building are a far cry from fancy, but if you are looking for a room with a comfortable bed and an awesome big TV (with Netflix, Hulu, etc.), then it's a good option.
