Mark was an excellent and gracious host. I felt like I have known him for some time already. His home is very comfortable. He has created a very relaxed vibe that makes you feel as if you are a resident of New Orleans. He has a fish tank that is nice to enjoy. Only thing is, you have to give the fish a tiny bit of food everyday. There is is a washer and dryer there and the bathroom shower head has disco lights on it that dance as you are showering! I think it's fun. There is a side garden area to hang out which I enjoyed daily. The neighborhood is clean, pleasant and I wish I was there now!!! I'm sad.. I want to go back to Mark's house!! Can I move in Mark? Lol
