About this property

On the third floor of a hundred years old brownstone, la Maison des Sirenes is perfect for anybody appreciating style and comfort. Affordable but not 'cheap', La Maison des Sirenes is well dressed!!! The apartment was decorated with taste and I meticulously picked every single of furnitures myself. This is the first apartment I ever rented as a vacation rental(August 2007).

It is located on one of the most coveted block of Bedstuy(tree lined). It features a master bedroom,an antique clawfoot bathroom, fully equipped Tuscan style kitchen,dining room,living room and an amazing bamboo lined deck with table,umbrella and seats .Perfect for barbecue in summer,sun bathing brunches on weekends or simply relaxing.
Most importantly the apartment is a few stations away from Manhattan. Keep in mind this is not a newly renovated apartment. It is very cosy and shows signs of age. It is a home and people Love it!
NYC OCCUPANCY TAXES ARE NOT INCLUDED AND ARE DUE UPON ARRIVAL IN CASH. Required by the city on less than 180 days rentals,they are 5.875% +$2/night.

Bedstuy used to be known for its motto 'do or die' . Not anymore!!!! Now it is best known for its incredibly beautiful Brownstone. It was fearures recentlt in the Time Out magazine as ' one of the best neighbourhood ' of NYC.The strong community and abundant beautiful brownstone townhouses contribute to its growth and charm. New cafes,restaurants,bakeries ,boutique ,galleries nd wine bars are sprouting everywhere receiving much attention by Zagat, time out,NY magazines and blogs. A diverse mix of students,hipsters,artists,crative professionals,architects and attorneys of all races continue to move to the neighbourhood.
The area is serviced well by the A abd C train with commute times 15 mn to lowervManhattan and 30 mn to midtown.(times square).
Bedstuy was home to famous artists such as Notorious BIG,Lil Kim,Mos Def,Chris rock,,poet June Jordan and activist Hattie Carthan. Bedstuy streets are often represented in media : Spike lee movies, MIA music video.....
There is a strong sense of pride being part of Bedstuy and being its pioneers.

Great Stay in a Stunning Brownstone

Nathalie was really great with communicating during my stay. It was an awesome location with a really cozy vibe inside. Super unique and much better than just staying in a hotel. Would definitely stay here again

Home away from home

If you want to feel like part of the local community when you visit New York, there is no better place to stay. We love this apartment, we love this street, we love Bed-Stuy. Thank you for having us here again, Nathalie. We can't wait for our next visit.

Muy autentico

Es cómodo, un poco lejos del centro. Básicamente bien en general, todo y que la decoración un tanto histrionica. Pero acogedor.

Très bonne adresse pour passer un séjour à New York

La maison des sirènes est bien située, à 7 mn à pieds du métro C local. Pour l'aéroport JFK, il faut compter 1h15 métro + airtrain environ avec un changement entre ligne A et C pour desserte de l'arrêt Kingston throop. Pour Manhattan, environ 30 mn selon où on veut aller. Ce petit éloignement de l'hyper centre permet des tarifs plus avantageux et de gagner en calme, par contre il ne faut pas prévoir de repasser à l'appartement dans la journée quand on part en visite L'appartement est confortable pour une famille avec le nécessaire pour cuisiner sur place et des commerces à proximité permettent de faire quelques courses. Le budget restaurant devenant vite élevé à NY, ça permet de réduire un peu. Nathalie est disponible, heureusement car les premiers jours nous ne sommes pas arrivés à ouvrir la porte du bas à cause d'un verrou bloqué et nous avons pu la joindre facilement (nous avions pris avant de partir une carte sim USA) Le dernier jour, il est possible de laisser ses bagages dans le hall avant de repartir, c'est très appréciable. Je recommande vivement cet emplacement, en plus nathalie parle français ce qui peut aider !

Idealer Standort für einen Besuch in NY

Sehr schönes, stimmungsvolles Apartment für 2-4 Personen, für NY Verhältnisse sehr ruhige Lage, ideal um sich nach einem Erlebnisreichen Tag in Manhattan zu erholen. Dies war bereits unser zweiter und sicher nicht der letzte Aufenthalt. Sehr empfehlenswert!!
