Ariel's place ticked all the boxes. Ariel is friendly and helpful, and the most responsive host I've ever met, so that I never had to wait for an answer to a question. The room was clean and had everything I needed, and the shared kitchen is a bonus--and the price is great, too, because I want to spend my time out and about, so was not looking to spend big bucks on accommodation. Since it's in my favourite neighbourhood for food and ambience, it couldn't be beat. Ariel describes the accommodations accurately, and yes, there's a family living a full life upstairs, but the small amount of noise didn't bother me (I sleep with earplugs anyway). I would absolutely go back.
