Mark's place was great! The condominium complex is huge and it shares one pool - luckily Mark's place is one of the closest units to the pool, which was perfect! It is close enough to Broadway but far enough that you can get away from the noise when you want to. We didn't have to take any uber's while we were there and to get downtown was about a 20 minute walk. You do have to walk past some interesting places and interesting people on your way there so I suggest making the walk during the day before you decide to do it at night so you know what to expect. Mark was able to accommodate us way before check in which was great since we arrived at 10am after driving all night. He also gave us some great suggestions for local places to eat (and drink) away from the downtown core. Will definitely come back to this area next time were in town and hopefully stay with Mark again!
