Mark's place was wonderful. I moved from overseas to the bay area for work and I needed a temporary place while I settled in. Mark and his partner were very welcoming and made me feel right at home. I did not have a car, which made mobility difficult, but this is not uncommon considering the US is a very car dependent country. Nevertheless, I was easily able to use public transport to get to where I needed to. There is a grocery store and pharmacy that is in walking distance, as is Mill College that has a wonderful library if that is of any interest. Overall, Mark's place was exactly what I needed moving into bay area and I would highly recommend this accommodation.
