Mark's house is just as beautiful as the photos. I chose it because it looked like such a nice, comfortable place to stay and I loved the slanted ceiling look. It did not disappoint. It was incredibly clean and a relaxing place to unwind. The couch and bed are both very comfy. I loved the balcony that's right out the door and the tree – that the deck of the balcony is built around – was really pretty and provided some nice coverage. And the bathtub was awesome.
I read in other people's reviews before our stay that there's a step down/up in the room that you don't notice because there's no transition in color or anything to help you see it. I didn't think I'd have any issue with it, figuring since I knew it was there I'd remember to step up/down each time. Nope. I was surprised by that step about four times in the space of an hour – though it did provide some comic relief because it became a bit ridiculous that I kept forgetting about it. I finally took the little rug that was in the kitchen and placed it on the step to draw my attention to it, and it wasn't an issue after that. Other than that, there were no issues. It was a great stay and I would absolutely stay there again.
