Overall, I'd highly recommend Mark's place. It is an incredible location - very close to shops, restaurants, Luna Park, and lots of transit options. The only downside is that you feel you are staying in someone's place (who is a bit messy). There were random books underneath the kitchen sink, lots of tupperware without matching lids, and a pantry full of stuff. If you can deal with that, this is a great place. I'd definitely stay again!
