Mark was very accommodating and proactive in communicating prior to us arriving - I felt very relaxed knowing that his apartment was ready and waiting for us. His friend Sascha met us on time at his apartment to give us the keys and a quick tour. Mark had set aside water, milk, apple juice, pastries, and espresso for us when we arrived which was very nice after a long trip! His place was very clean, quiet, nicely located around cafes and a public transportation stop. We felt very welcomed and at home and can't say enough great things about Mark and his lovely apartment!
