Mark's place is pretty much next to perfect for a solo traveler or couple. It's located in the heart of the city and in one of the best neighbourhoods (great shopping/restaurants) especially if you want to get the most out of your trip. It is one stop away from the sea bus (If you want to check out North Vancouver and Lonsdale Quay) and walking distance to everything you would want to see and do. He's an outstanding host with a very unique and beautiful space. I would highly recommend a stay at Marks' corner unit condo if you are looking to live it up in Van City!
