Mark is an extraordinary host. His house is a very safe clean and cute place to stay in. And the backyard...probably the best part of my trip! Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. It's even better than in the photos. The bed is big and comfy. The whole place has all the amenities to make sure you have everything you need whenever you need it. The neighborhood is pretty, it smells like flowers, very calm and mainly residential but groceries, fast foods, gas station, bus and metro stops are walking distance. It is pretty central in LA so it will take probably the same time to go anywhere, wether you have a car or not. I had not any but could easily move around. Mark was helpful, careful and available all the time and occasionally we had very nice conversations, he's a great flatmate. Make sure you keep clear and communicative. Make sure you respect the rules of the house to keep this place special as it is meant to be. I will definitely come back here when I get to LA again. If you landed on this listing and Mark approves, consider yourself lucky. What else can I say? If you don't book here you're an idiot.
