Mark was a good host, there to greet me when I arrived which was nice, though his instructions for checking in were thorough and I could have checked in unattended, except that I needed to get a permit for parking- parking is tight in the neighborhood. There were several other guests in the home, with two shared bathrooms available, but it was nevertheless very private. Note: bring a wash cloth if you use one- not provided. Coffee, tea and fruit awaited in the kitchen. It was a fine place to stay for my short visit to Whittier.
