Marco’s residence is exactly as pictured in the profile. It is lovely inside the compound and you are very secure. Marco graciously had someone meet us to help direct us from the parking area to the residence .4 miles away. He also left us a bottle of wine to enjoy. The residence is located centrally making it easy to walk or use city transport to tourist attractions. Although out of Marco’s control, the area had a lot of graffiti and a poor trash system by the city left a lot of trash on the streets.
