I enjoyed a four day stay in one of Ariel's basement rooms. It was a delightful experience - very clean, with a very comfortable memory foam mattress to sleep on. The room was a good size for both working and sleeping. The shared facilities (kitchen and clothes washer/dryer) were in excellent condition and very accessible. The room was remarkably quiet, aside from a bit of upstairs morning foot traffic, which was very tolerable. The location is very near some excellent coffee shops and restaurants, but the street itself is residential and quiet. I would definitely stay here again, if the opportunity arises.
