My girlfriend and I got to Marco's place around 10pm and Marco was there to greet us warmly and get to know us a bit. His home was just as described in the listing and we felt very welcome and comfortable. The neighborhood is cute and we didn't have to hunt around very much for a parking spot (I got a 2-day parking pass ahead of time). We felt very safe there as well. We only stayed in Toronto a couple of nights but would've loved to take advantage of the patio out back if we'd planned a longer trip. Excellent place to call home for the weekend!
