Mark was a fantastic host. He was really responsive beforehand to coordinate arrival and departure details, met me at our agreed time to give me keys and orient me, and then had my room in great shape. As a working artist's studio Mark's place has a lot of character and energy, but he also made sure things were arranged beforehand so that it was totally fine for storing my stuff, sleeping, and getting off to work the next morning. As a bonus, he graciously even sat with another guest and me to tell some great stories about his building and the neighborhood over a glass of delicious honey rum late into the evening! I'll look forward to staying with Mark again...often, if I can!
