In short, it's a perfect basic location with an incredible host.
More in depth: Max is a very friendly host that really does his best to make you feel at home. This done by multiple things as actually showing interest in the person, trying to give advice if it's asked/welcome, doing a little tour around the block showing some handy to know locations and even cooking an incredible pasta dish to eat together.
The apartment itself isn't too luxurious (which is totally not a bad thing) and everything you would need is there.
The location is very easily accessible by public transport. The (potential) downside is it's located next to a school so there might be some noise in the morning around 9 although it didn't bother me at all.
The time spent there was really enjoyable and I was able to learn many cool and interesting facts about the city due to Max incredible knowledge that he is very happy to share with others.
