About this property

La Maison des sirenes 2,only 20mn away from Manhattan. Bohemian,comfortable

Due to the high demand on la maison des sirenes 1, I decided to offer another apartment. This is La Maison des Sirenes 2 ,same house but on the top floor (4th floor) of my brownstone.
It is located in one of the most coveted block(tree lined)of Bedstuy. It features a master bedroom (luxury Vera Wang queen size mattress) , a guest room with a twin size daybed coming from another world, an antique bathroom, a complete Tuscan kitchen, dining room and living room. The apartment is very bright, light is coming from every sides and ceilings (skylight).
The apartment was decorated with taste and I meticulously picked every single piece of furniture myself. Some of the furniture’s come from abroad and have many stories to say on their own. Some other has been collected for years and stored in my apartment waiting for the perfect place to be. Keep in mind this is not a newly renovated apartment .it has a flea market mood. The wood floor is imperfect and scratched. All the signs of a well lived house.
NYC OCCUPANCY TAXES ARE NOT INCLUDED AND ARE DUE UPON ARRIVAL IN CASH. They are required by NYC on less than 180 days rentals. They are 5.875% +$2/night . As of 03/01/2025 the state of NY requires lodging establishments to charge the state and sales taxes. It represents an additional 8.875% , calculated from the total rental fee.


feel free to look at my other listing on homeaway .the property number is 171767


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.

Gemütliche Wohnung für Familien
Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und ruhig und war für uns zu dritt ideal, um sich nach langen Tagen in NY auszuruhen. Die Fahrt nach Manhattan dauert ca 30 min, die Subway ist nah. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber.

Indiana to Brooklyn
This was a great place. It was very easy to get to where we needed to go. Our group is not used to radiator heating and there are some noises associated with that in the apartment but not enough to deter us from renting it again.

Overall good stay with minor imperfections
The street is great; the location if convenient; the apartment is charming, with a lot of character. I am more picky than most and I noticed that the owner of the apartment has not been inside in a while and probably the overall management was left to a hired cleaner. While generally clean, some details appeared overlooked and it looked like the place didn't get a deep cleaning in a while. We didn't find any body wash; the conditioner was almost empty, the towels were worn out; hinges and latches on window shades were broken; we couldn't figure out how to run the overhead shower (we later found out there were instructions; for some reason, we didn't see them); some surfaces (the chandeliers, the decorations, the house plants) hadn't been dusted in a while. However, the owner was in constant communication with us and when we shared this feedback, the appeared to take it seriously, so hopefully the apartment will get more frequent maintenance. This is a lovely apartment, on a lovely street, with a lot of potential! It just needs more frequent maintenance and it needs addressing those details to make it a perfect stay.

In Beooklyn for our son’s indie rock concert
What a sweet spot to enjoy easy access to Manhattan, a great Brooklyn neighborhood, and an electric, thoughtful, funky bohemian nest. We appreciated the extra touches like tea, spices and natural toiletries that went beyond the basics. It made it feel more like a home and comfortable farting to be there for the weekend.

Excellent séjour
La description du bien et les différents commentaires sont exacts. Idéalement situé à quelques minutes du métro, avec des commerces à proximité. Nous avons apprécié le charme et le calme du quartier. Nathalie a été disponible et le fait qu'elle parle français a été un plus lorsque nous avons rencontré des soucis avec nos valises. Nous recommandons à 100% pour découvrir NY et être au calme en fin de journée.

Lovely Space
This apartment has a lovely shabby chic vibe. The architectural details were so cool - pocket doors, clawfoot tub - just the character I appreciate. The apartment was close to shops and the subway- I was able to get to Manhattan and the Brooklyn Museum easily. Would stay again!

Review
Came to see New York and we had a great time. We chose this property on affordability, closeness to subway and general character (not a soul-less white-painted box). Apartment and area were grand. We loved comparing the original brownstone features with our tenement flat in Glasgow. The area had everything we needed for groceries and eating out when we were tired of Manhattan - and the Subway was handy. The furniture is quirky - we could have done with a second easy chair, or a sofa-bed instead of the extra divans, but the main bed was really comfy and the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped and functional. And the central heating came on when a cold snap set in so no complaints there! Thanks, Nathalie

Lovely little flat with everything we needed inside. Great location with good transport links and some nice little coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Only criticism is WiFi is a little slow but not a massive issue. Definitely recommend staying here.
