Everything was exactly like I expected--great value in a great location. Mark was very accommodating: easy to reach and quick to respond. I appreciated having full access to the kitchen and common spaces. The house is set up similarly to a hostel, with three separate bedrooms and one shared bath. Each room has its own lock, which provided great peace of mind since I left my laptop and guitar in the room all day. I enjoyed interacting with the other guests, but it is something to consider if you prefer not to share space. I would both recommend this place and stay here again!
