We were surprised to have a bad experience at Marks place. Mark told us we couldn't use the oven, after specifically saying we could before we booked. The carpet was very sticky and stained, yet we weren't allowed to eat in our room or wear any footwear. He told us the code to the front door, only to realize later the door was dead and we had nearly locked ourselves out. This home had a hostel feel, with one other bedroom rented, Mark there, and marks kids and grandkids in the living room all day (up to 10 people in a given day in a 3 br house). Might be good for a quick overnight with good location, pass on longer term stays.
