Max's place is a really cute guest house in the back of the main house. It's unique and has a lot of character- the house is light purple/pink and blue and has lots of plants on the side which line the entrance to the guest house. The house is spacious enough for 4 people (2 people in the bedroom and 2 people in the living room on the pull out couch). It is conveniently located and within walking distance of City Park, Willie Mae's, etc., and about 10-20 minute taxi to most other destinations. The area can be a little sketchy at night (most of our cab drivers told us to stay away from the next block), but we had no issues with the neighborhood.
Max was a great host- giving us restaurant tips and answering any questions we had immediately. He even asked what kind of liquor we liked and left a bottle of grey goose for us to enjoy.
