The place was overall clean and furnished with snacks and other amenities. Mark is a great host - very responsive and understanding. During my stay I lost my credit card and had to make a late payment but he was very understanding. The place is close to Union Square and Civic Center and quite a few restaurants around, however it’s right by a big street with lots of homeless addicts around (they don’t threaten you but just beware), walkable distance to Chinatown and downtown. Overall Mark’s place is worthy to stay.
