Max is a great host. He responds quickly after booking, and throughout the trip. There is a nice bed, but we used the pull out couch most of the time. The location is great for exploring the mid city area by foot with some great dining options, and it is a long, but fascinating walk to the French quarter. 2 short walk highlights that are not on everyone's list, Kitchen Witch Book store and Lola's restaurant. We will be back.
