Because of the pandemic, we didn’t want to go anywhere far and crowded, and my daughter just wanted to swim. Mark’s place was a perfect match for what we were looking for. The guest house was very clean, the yard was beautiful with lots of trees, the pool had nice lounging chairs, umbrella, and floats... and Mark was very responsive and friendly. Bay Area could get cold in summer and not always for outdoor swimming so the heat wave actually worked out. My daughter had a blast playing in a pool!
