Mark's place is an oasis indeed! While the immediate neighborhood seems a bit isolated, rundown and funky, once you enter the gate you feel entirely at ease and amazed. The expansive space is sunny and eclectically appointed with cool objects and artifacts and it's very welcoming and comfortable. It was below zero and snowy, so we didn't get to enjoy the ample outdoor spaces but they looked great through the windows. : ) Mark was easily accessible for answers and suggestions, and accommodating of our changing schedules (weather-related travel delays). This is the kind of place where it would be ideal to have a car, and there are not a ton of options in the immediate vicinity (or at least not much that you want to walk to when it's blizzarding) but it's an easy Uber or drive to many great hotspots in Rino. All in all a great place to stay! Thanks Mark!
