Mark was really cool - my friend and I were even invited to his Friendsgiving party upstairs during our stay. The location was good - near H street and downtown. We biked the city and the space was large enough to keep our bikes inside. The separate entrance was helpful.

I have to say though, the basement was pretty cold, had some mosquitoes in it as other said, and the second 'bed' - futon - wasn't really prepared as a bed to sleep on with blankets or anything. I'm sure Mark would have been willing to help, but once we realized the problems it was late and not worth staying up later trying to remedy.
