Mark's guest room is definitely a steal in Vancouver! My friend and I were glad that we had our privacy, a hot tub to use, and a very cozy place to stay in Vancouver, for such a great price also!
We always received prompt responses from Mark before and during the stay. Mark was very accommodating and flexible when we requested to add another night to our stay. On top of that, once we arrived, he greeted us and made sure that the amenities were in tip top shape before we want to use it, and made sure that we didn't have to help out and that we felt like guests at his house.
The guest room had its own separate entrance and is on the basement of the entire house. For that reason, we had great privacy and did not hear anyone else either. The place was spacious and had plenty of room for 3 people; it even had a kitchen for us to warm up our leftovers from all the amazing food we ate in Vancouver!
I would recommend staying with Mark if you are planning on going to Vancouver!
