Mark's basement studio is super cute and in a nice residential area with lots of cute restaurants and shops nearby and the train station just a few blocks away. It's a good deal price-wise, and Mark was a very receptive and friendly host. We really appreciated the comfy bed, ease and access of finding the place and getting around, and his availability and suggestions. I have lots more music venues and restaurants to try out, due to his recommendations, that we didn't have time for on this short trip! It did smell a little dank, like mold or mildew; it bothered me but my husband didn't notice at all. It's a small but full kitchen, and a microwave would have been appreciated for leftovers.
