I really enjoyed my time at Mark's place. The room is exactly as the picture displays. Mark is very friendly. We had many conversations, even a few places in common. When I needed something, and because he is upstairs, he was readily available via text. This place has everything you could want in a place to stay. It is just under a 3/4 mile walk to the Venice Beach and 2 miles to Santa Monica pier. The neighborhood has so many places to eat. Close to Whole Foods, 99cent store, Ralph's, drug stores. Night life is very close, but the apartment is very quiet. Loved having a parking space, though the neighborhood is great for parking. One of the fun things about Mark's hospitality is his GuestBook. I think every Airbnb should have this. It provides all kinds of information. Thankyou Mark. :-)
