We stayed for 5 awesome days in Marco's house, he immediately accomodated us even just a couple of hours prior to coming, as our previous host suddenly canceled the reservation, he also helped us to deal with recovery system and made sure that we got our money back.
From the 1st minute we've felt Marco as a good friend, he took care of us, showed the best ways to get to a particular places and gave us a lift, gave tips and tricks how to spend the minimum money to get maximum enjoyment, thanks to Marco we have learned a lot about local people's lifestyle.
Marco prepared coffee for breakfast and set up flakes with my now favorite almond milk, and even cooked us a delicious caramelised peaches (Marco, we need a prescription!)), also we had a fantastic breakfast in a great local cafe with delicious and quickly prepared food, nice interior, awesome atmosphere and creative people.
The house is large, clean and tidy, so it's is easy to maintain order and comfortable to live, Marco himself acted as a designer - everything is thoroughly planned, 2 beautiful gardens with nice seating area and a fountain. Sharing life stories and drinking tea with mint and lemon from the garden is a particular pleasure. The place is very convenient to Universal Studios, the area is quiet and beautiful, not far from the subway, despite this it wasn't a problem for Marco to stand up at 4a.m. and take us to the metro!))
Marco is an interesting person to talk with more diverse experience, we've got a real pleasure from the communication with him and living in his mansion, in company with cute little yorkshire terrier Angel!
Thanks a lot Marco and always welcome to Russia!
