Max is a great host. He not only let me rent a room but share his home. We had many good conversations and Max was always happy to share his deep knowledge of the city.
Currently the house is also the home of Kate (also a really nice person and great host) and the cutest, gentlest and well-behaved Poodle/Foxterrier Mix Scruffy.
The view from the living room is amazing, day or night.
