There are so many nice things to say about Max’s apartment!
It is large with a complete bedroom and laundry room. It is clear that care and thought has been taken on the remodel. The wifi works flawlessly, the TV is large, the bed is king sized and comfortable. The apartment is unexpectedly quiet, probably due to the new windows and an air conditioning unit, fans, and heaters are available throughout the unit. There are plenty of AC power outlets and power strips. Max is indeed easy and quick to communicate with. Check in is easy and we were always able to park in the driveway.
There were some relatively minor issues with cleanliness, but there were quite a few of them. Unit was not ready, ie - cleaning crew was still there, when we tried to check in after 3pm.
My final assessment is that Max’s apartment is comfortable, a good value, and really quite special in many ways. Much of what was problematic or negative seemed primarily to be the fault of the cleaning crew, who did a fine job, overall, but would benefit from a higher attention to detail. The photos in the listing really show this place off in a way that may have raised my expectations a bit too high. However, the positives far outweigh the negatives which are small and correctible. I recommend at stay for your visit to Portland.
