Max's place is a good basic accommodation north of Portland. Easy to get to lots of Portland activities and surrounding area, also near grocery stores. On a busy street which gets pretty noisy at night, especially if windows are open. Has all needed amenities, plus lots of tea! Max was a friendly host, helpful and flexible with us arranging a last minute stay of 1-3 nights. He responded quickly to my inquiry and questions about the place, and it worked out well, we stayed 2 nights.
