I traveled alone and wasn't sure if I'd feel safe in a place I'd never visited before. But Maxime's space is AMAZING!!! :) Not only is it beautifully decorated with his own fashion designs and sparkling clean, but it's got central A/C in the living room AND bedroom (separate thermostats) which is like finding GOLD in NYC during the hot summers! The subway was nearby and a fun walk (even alone) and it was easy to get to all my destinations throughout Manhattan. He greeted me personally and gave me the tour of the apartment, made sure I could use the keys without issue and texted me often during my stay. When I visit NYC again - I'll be staying with Maxime for sure!! Thanks, sir!! :) :)
