Mark and his place were simply amazing. We would highly recommend his place for anyone traveling to DC. From his prompt communication, the thoroughness of his instructions (he even leaves a printed house manual), the modern, updated furnishings, the detail he put into the appliances and bathroom fixtures (especially the shower - it was our favorite part!), to the nice, comfortable bed, you can tell he really thinks and cares about the guest experience. Most hotels in the area offer rooms for more than twice the price of his place with less than half of the space, amenities and conveniences he offers. We didn't even get to take him up on the free gym access he includes with each stay, but it was such an unexpected and forward-thinking perk, as were the automatic locks on the doors, which made coming and going so simple. We will definitely be back to stay with Mark next time we're in DC!
