Wow just wow, I can’t say enough on how much I enjoyed staying at Mark’s place! I was reluctant to book a shared room since I haven’t done that in years, but due to a last minute booking combined with a big conference in town driving up the hotel costs, I booked Mark’s place. I’m so happy I did because I enjoyed this much more than an exclusive hotel. Mark was an incredibly kind and generous host. He had fruit and healthy muffins available to grab. He was excellent at communicating expectations (such as “I’m having friends over for dinner, they’ll be here when you get back and you are welcome to join us if you like”) and accommodating of whatever social level I was comfortable with at a given moment. Once I was in the “suite” I felt complete privacy. The suite is positioned in the apartment on one end, so you aren’t sharing a lot of wall space with anyone else. Everything was clean and had the right amount of attention to detail. The location was much more interesting than what normal hotels in SF have to offer within walking distance - I had two excellent dinners within a few blocks of Mark’s place and was able to squeeze in an early morning walk to Dolores park and back before work. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.
