I and my wife stayed in with Marco in his house for about a month and really had a wonderful experience. We have relocated and it was so good to move somewhere safe and relaxing to get used to LA while finding and apartment. Marco was a wonderful host and really couldn't be more generous. The house is gorgeous with new appliances and a really nice garden to sit out and relax in.
I would have no problem recommending anyone to stay there so long as they like dogs :)
