Marco's home is a wonderful place to stay. It is clean and comfortable and the city center is easily accessible (maybe a long walk for some but not too bad). There is a grocery store just down the street, a block or two away, and plenty of places to eat nearby. We were able to buy groceries and cooked a great meal in Marco's kitchen. He communicates quickly and easily and is always available for you. His apartment is in a safe neighborhood, we were two females traveling and were comfortable. There is no lock on the bedroom door which worried us the first night but after that we were fine with it, felt very safe. Parking is not dedicated, it is on the street. Even with a lot of construction in the area we were eventually able to find a spot. I would recommend this host and his apartment as a great place to stay and will stay there again given the chance.
