I have been living almost exclusively in Airbnbs for the last couple of years, and have stayed in several before that, and my time at Max's is one of the best, most outstanding Airbnb experiences I've ever had.
First of all, the location of Max's house is magic. I have never stayed anywhere with a view this incredible. I watched the SF New Year's Eve fireworks from the balcony. The neighborhood is full of beautiful nature: ravens, redwoods, and manzanita trees. There are lovely parks (one has off-leash dog trails) just a 3-minute drive away.
But as amazing as all of that—and the house in general—is, Max's hospitality is what truly made my stay special. He went above and beyond in making sure I enjoyed my stay and did extra things for me that enhanced my experience and made me feel at home. He was so sweet with my dog, Cuddles, and was friendly and enjoyable to talk to. I look forward to going back and highly recommend Max's place to anyone looking for a stay in the Bay Area!
