I spent 5 months to Mark's house and it has been wonderful!
Mark is an amazing host (and friend),.
Don't worry about possible music, Mark is extremely respectful. However, working/studying with him playing in the background is lovely. Some times he may have some online lesson, but it hasn't been a problem at all. There are two groceries close.
The house is located 25-30 minutes by bus from the university, the bus stop is around 5 minutes far.. Bus are every 15 minutes. Walking 15 minutes you can also reach the station for the metro.
Inside is nice and comfortable, take your time and relax in the backyard.
