Maxime's place is awesome. It is in a very cool part of Harlem--lots of local spots to hang out. Great music and food. It is also a 15 minute express train ride to midtown. So you can be in the madness of Times Square--and then within 3o minutes back at the apartment with your feet up. The Apollo Theater is a ten minute walk away...and so much else is nearby to explore. And Central park is a sweet fifteen minutes away--the quiet northern part of it. The place was spotless. I can't recommend a stay here highly enough.
