Arias’ place is really awesome and in a great location (such an ace neighbourhood, had such a community feel to it and felt very safe with lots of amenities). Him and his housemate were really very hospitable and although I only stayed for two nights we had some good chats. Genuinely kind and helpful people. I think the place could be a bit “marmite” and wouldn’t suit all travelling types but I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
