We had a great stay at Mark & Stephanie. The place matches the ad perfectly and is clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. There is a beautiful garden to spend time outside, including a semi-private outdoor lounge for the guests.
The location is very good. While not a prime location like Santa Monica for instance, it is centrally located and close to a lot of stuff (Museums row, The Grove, etc). It turned out to be a great base for exploring. Plus it is quiet and easy to park in the street.
Mark and Stephanie are great hosts. We arrived very late on our first night and they were very accommodating and made it easy for us to check in. They are very nice and we enjoyed chatting with them. Stephanie offered us a home-made banana bread which is probably the best one I've had.
We would definitely consider staying there again in the future.
