Mark's place is well located on a main route beside a bus stop. Easy and hassle free to get into the city as the public transport was very regular from that stop.
Mark was very chatty and friendly, any messages we exchanged prior to the visit were friendly and informative and he had kindly provided milk and some food on arrival.
The room was small but had everything needed for my stay, including some herbal/fruit tea sachets, breakfast cereal and some chocolate bars.
The bed was comfortable and warm and generally I slept well.
I did not see much of Mark as I was out every day for the duration of my week's stay but when I did, he was friendly and very willing to chat. He offered information about local nightlife and recommendations for eating out.
From my point of view it was a very successful visit. Thanks Mark
