Max's guesthouse was a fantastic delve into the culture and sights and sounds of New Orleans. Centrally located -- meaning you can easily access ANY part of the city with reasonable means of transport -- the spot was simple, in the best terms, tidy, well-put-together, and Max even left us some of his favorite beer in the fridge from a local brewery.
I cannot recommend his place highly enough, and Max, himself, was a most accommodating host for first-timers. We will most definitely be returning to the city with him.
