I stayed with Mark and his brother Sam for almost 2 months. They are two really interesting social guys and staying there you will for sure leave with more knowledge and/or input on a lot of interesting topics.
Their place is located about 10-15 min walk to two good bus lines that takes you downtown. The neighborhood feels safe and nice. I would really recommend this place! And not to forget their sweet dog, Jack, one of my favorite dogs I've ever met, such a sweetheart! Thanks guys for having me!
