Max is an extremely considerate, funny, and laidback host who is also one hell of a conversationalist. I stayed with him for a month, had a great time, slept like a rock, enjoyed the daily walk to town... and just extended for another month in the other room. The apartment is cool, the view is spectacular, the location is perfect (swift walk to the Mt. Victoria lookout and a quick pop into town), and the overall value is tremendous. High recommend!
