About this property
LA MAISON DES SIRENES 1, Bohemian and charm,ing 20mn away from city.
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. As of 03/01/2025 VRBO collects and remits the NY state and sales taxes (8.875% +$1.50/night). Check my other property La maison des Sirenes 2 (384590)
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 recently in the Time Out magazine as ' one of the best ' 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 continue to move to the neighbourhood. The area is serviced well by the A and C train with commute times 15 mn to lower manhattan 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.

Had our second stay at Nathalie’s great Bed-Stuy apt, this time the 2nd floor one. Perfect for the three of us visiting our daughter. The apt is very thoughtfully decorated and has everything you need for a NYC stay. Even though the temps got into the teens, the radiator heat kept the apt warm and comfortable. Great location with 10 min walk to the C line. Would stay again!
Great apartment in a very quiet area. Communication with Manhattan is very good as the C subway line stop is only 5 minutes away from the property.The apartment is comfortable for 5 people. It has everything you need to eat/dine there. We visited in winter and the atmosphere inside was very cozy.The decor is very original, conveying the authentic New York essence of the early 20th century.Communication with the owner was excellent at all times.I would especially recommend it to families with children.
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
We had a great stay over Christmas in the apartment, everything was as described in a great location close to metro to access manhatten. Would stay again if we visited NYC in the future.
we had a wonderful stay at nathalie’s place! looked just like the photos, a super charming spot in a great location close to the subway and plenty of restaurants. check in was easy and she was very communicative throughout our stay. would recommend!
Our Vrbo stay was excellent. The neighborhood was great. I felt safe at night walking home with my family. The apartment was charming and clean and the host was available to address problems we had with the apartment immediately. I would definitely stay there again.
The perfect stay. Cute places close by and overall safe feeling. Subway is near and easy to access. The place is absolutely adorable and has such a cozy vintage vibe. Beds were comfy and WiFi was good. Host was so catering and super quick with responses. I have zero complaints and would visit again!
I was debating between staying in a hotel or short-term rental and am so glad I booked this spot. If you are looking for a local’s experience of New York, this is the place! I enjoyed getting to know the neighborhood and had easy access to the subway to get into Manhattan. The host was very friendly and had great recommendations. I would consider booking here again the next time I visit New York.
Far more spacious than the listed photos make it look! Definitely will stay here again. Very clean and cozy. The decor and historical vibe of the building and apartment added to the charm of this rental. The deck is absolutely a great addition to this apartment. Parking was a tad tricky especially in the late afternoon. There is a parking garage a few blocks away. Lots of grocery options in walking distance, healthy take out/delivery in the area. We felt very safe here. I recommend LYFT for transportation if you don't want to drive. Great host communication in a very timely manner.
Nathalie's apartment is a gem! It is a charming, light-filled place in a beautiful old brownstone, complete with a well equipped kitchen and a private back patio. It had plenty of room for our family of four. It is well maintained, and on a quiet street in a lovely neighbourhood, with good restaurants and shops easily accessible. The subway is a quick 8-minute walk away, and gets you to lower Manhattan in 20 minutes. We are already talking about coming back to stay here again. Thanks Nathalie!
We stayed in the apartment for 10 days and it was a great holiday. The instructions for self-check-in were perfect and Nathalie reacted immidiately whenever we had a question. She also arranged our transport back to the airport, thanks a lot for this. The location is excellent, it is less than 10 minutes walk to the subway station of the C-line which takes you to Manhattan in about 20 mins. The neighborhood is great and we always felt safe, even when returning to the apartment late night. There are also some nice bars and restaurants in the area, we liked the "Cocktail Bedstuy Bar" just around the corner very much. Our visits to Manhattan were wonderful, lots to see and to do, especially the walk across Brooklyn Bridge towards Manhattan.
The place was just as described - clean, confortable, quiet and a 10 min walk to the C line. Nathalie is a wonderful host, very helpful and quick to respond to my questions. Highly recommend her apartment! We look forward to another stay!
Close 5 - 9min walk to Kingston-Throop subway station C local train which is a quick 20minute access to Manhattan. Corner delis, laundromat, supermarket within quick accessibility. Apartment located on 2nd floor, very homely feel has kitchen, fridge/freezer all amenities provided. Perfect for our teenage/adult family of four. I would definitely stay again.

Nathalie was a great communicator and her place was unique and special. We wanted an authentic city experience and staying in her brownstone in Brooklyn gave us that. It was roomy for my family of four, much more so than any 2 hotel rooms could have provided. We had a great visit with the subway only a few blocks away, giving us easy access to the city. Thanks Nathalie!
Really nice apartment with terrace. 8min Walk to the C Metro line which connects directly to Manhattan/Penn Station. Nathalie is a very friendly host and questions were always answered quickly. Thank you again, Nathalie
