Mark was a very flexible and accessible host, which really made our stay better. The place is a perfect size for a small group of 3 like ours, and it had all the amenities we needed. The location is amazing: easy walking distance to Metro Center or Gallery Place Metro, less than a mile walk to the Mall, and the immediate neighborhood has some incredible dining and shopping opportunities. We had a dinner one night at Fig & Olive that's one of the best fine dining experiences we've had. One night we went downstairs to Centrolina Market, grabbed some fresh pasta and fresh sauce, a baguette baked that day and some olive oil, and with 5 minutes of prep had what might have been our second best meal of the trip. Overall a great stay, and I highly recommend Mark's place and especially the neighborhood.
