Mark’s place worked great for me and my 17 year old son in town for college visits. The unit felt spacious and had everything we needed, parking was always available in front of the house and the location was great. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood that seemed fairly convenient to the freeways. If you do have a car there’s a Costco nearby with better gas prices (and an In and Out next door) and a tasty Thai restaurant called Celadon. If you’re there on the 1st or 4th Sunday of the month check out the Santa Monica Antique Market at the Santa Monica airport which is less than a mile away.
