Mark's place is a vibrant space, centrally located with easy access to Venice Beach and Santa Monica. He has a bike available to get around, which was fun as well as useful. There is a Whole Foods close by which I fell in love with, and lots of great coffee shops.
Mark is friendly, easy going and entertaining. I felt very comfortable in his apartment and even made an extra friend (in the other guest).
Having your own entrance in the back street, makes it super easy to come and go. Highly recommend staying at his place.
