The second my partner and I got in Marco was extremely welcoming, courteous and was eager to give us tips for everything we needed by way of parking, restaurants, bars, places to see, things to do, etc. His home is situated on a quiet family block right off of a main street with plenty to do: record stores, restaurants, a Tim Horton's situated in a movie theater, you name it. Marco has a lovely place and was happy to share it with us in any way possible, I felt right at home even with a brief (2 day) stay. My only grievance is the bed itself. If you're traveling solo this might not be an issue but the bed is relatively small for a full and is crazy squeaky. That being said, this is a small con compared to a long list of pro's that come with staying with Marco. The place is kept spotless, has easy entry, good living areas, updated and clean bathroom, easy parking, the list goes on. We had a really great stay here.
