Nothing that I can write will possibly do justice to the experience of having stayed aboard Maxime. From a simple perspective, this is an incredible bargain in terms of the amount of space provided for the price of rental. But to review Maxime as a means of lodging alone would be skipping over the portions of what really made the stay spectacular. To begin, the space itself is fantastic. Elegantly appointed and outfitted with anything you could need or want to be comfortable, Maxime is inviting on a level no hotel accommodations could possibly contend with. Down to the prominent presence of art, literature, and vintage records, Maxime has all the touches of a boutique hotel. The marina is quiet and secluded with breathtaking views of the city, but when it came time to head out the nearest bus stop was all of about three minutes by foot and the nearest tube station all of eight. This afforded us a wonderful balance between tranquil isolation when wanted and ease of movement to other parts of the city when needed. Perhaps the most wondrous portion of our stay was our hosts, who did everything possible to make us feel welcomed. We were invited to their cabin for reception one evening over wine where we talked for a couple hours about the city, where we were from, and just generally conversed as if we were all old friends. Their hospitality was so incredibly welcome in a city so completely unfamiliar to my companion and I, and they provided us with a great deal of helpful information for planning our stay in London. I have never stayed in a more perfect setting than Maxime, nor can I imagine one. My only request would be that she stay available for guests long enough for me to visit London again!
