It was both my first time and my girlfriends first time in NYC. After reading reviews and looking around I was looking forward to staying at Maxime's place. Truly underrated meaning her hospitality was like staying at a big sister/ college roommate/ old friends place. Can't thank her enough. Clear communication, super friendly down to earth. We stayed 3 nights & were out all day exploring. She provided an excellent description of the area, room and hospitality. Thank you isn't enough for such a gracious host. Sorry for any noise!!! :)
