Max’s place was very much appreciated by us.
He was nice and kind. He graciously let me park in his spot and moved his car into a courtyard.
He let us know where some great cafe’s and restaurants were.
(Necci 1924 was a great spot for a proper dish of pasta, rich wines and great espresso/breakfasts in the morning. It was our go to spot.
Frequented by locals and some tourists like ourselves.)
From Max’s there is walkable access to stores, bars, cafes, restaurants etc....
It was a charming up and coming hipster type neighborhood.
Gentrification in full effect. Very nice. It was safe to walk at night(but I am a man). So I cannot speak for women traveling alone. My girlfriend was with me, and we never had problems.
I would stay at Max’s again.
