My fiancee and I stayed at Max's place for a long weekend over Thanksgiving, and seriously couldn't have been happier with it. The apartment is even bigger and well-lit than it looks in the pictures, and it had everything that we needed.
If possible, the location is even better - very centrally located in the city with a ton of cafes, markets, bakeries, etc. in the surrounding blocks.
Max was also extremely helpful and accommodating; he was an ideal host. We just hope his place doesn't become too popular so that we can book it again on our next trip. It really felt like a home away from home.
