Max's place was a great deal for what we paid. The nearby area had a lot of great restaurants and cafes (my boyfriend and I went to the Great North cafe every day for breakfast!) that are within a 5 to 10 minute walking distance. The place is also close to a couple of buses that take you straight to downtown Portland. Max even let us check into the airbnb several hours early and tried to accommodate our request for a late check out. We loved the self-check in process which was super painless and much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in town!
