Mark has a friendly, open and inviting home. I enjoyed my stay and the fact that his home offers a number of amenities. Staying there felt like being part of a small community and Mark went the extra mile to answer any questions I had about the area. The location is in a nice, older neighborhood and was very convenient for my purposes, traveling to Santa Clara University and exploring San Jose, and has convenient access to shops and restaurants. Would recommend to anyone open to meeting new people. I enjoyed the company of his crafty canine companions as well!
