Mark is a great host and is in a great location in Van Nuys that is only 20-30 min from heart of LA area. Prior to our arrival, Mark sent a nifty check in video that covered everything about his home. Mark greeted my Grandma and I in person and introduced us to our living space and gave us set of keys to enter and leave as we pleased. Parking is on the street but is easily accessible and no worries of towing in this particular residential area. Neighborhood has plenty of fast food places, CVS, and grocery store if you have any last minute needs. Mark has an interesting job and cool pieces that are definitely worth a peek! Room and bathroom was clean and perfect for our stay. I would defintely recommend Mark to any other airbnbers and I hope to stay with him again if I'm ever in LA in the future.
