Maxim is great host and his house is amazing :)
The day arrived, he explained house rules, accommodation, how to get to downtown etc.
The room was huge, clean and has small private washroom.
The location was okay for me, I walked from downtown to house, I could find lots of store, cafe, beautiful building while walking. If you're lazy you could take a bus to downtown.
Also the day I left the house, maxim gave me a small souvenir.
He was helpful, kind, and friendly.
So I definitely recommend to stay his place.
