I am French and have been living in Ny for 10 years: fell in love, stayed, stayed and stayed some more. I am well travelled and speak 3 languages (french, english, spanish). I have a brownstone and I have been renting my 3rd floor for more than year and people truly love it and leave enchanted. Come and see for yourself!!!
Maison Des Sirenes 3 was a great place to stay. Nathalie was a great host. Everything we needed was provided. The Apartment was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The neighborhood was nice and all the people were friendly. We really enjoyed our stay.
January 2012First I liked the appartment a lot, second I liked Nathalie and her family a lot and third I liked the neighborhood very much, too. So what else is there still to say? ;-) The bed has just the right tightness to provide a great sleep, the terrace has a cool urban vibe, the kitchen full of useful things, the decoration is romantic and shabby chic and I personally loved the speedy WIFI-connection - combined with the special atmosphere and nostalgic charme of the whole house it is a perfect...

It is a beautiful place, same as the pictures! The place has everything you need. Interesting neighbor. There is a 5 blocks walk to the subway but its secure. Nathalie is a great host.
Maison des sirenes was a great place to stay! We loved the neighborhood and it was easy to get to Manhattan. The apartment was clean and light and close to supermarkets and restaurants. Nathalie was a great host and she helped us as soon as we needed something. It is a fairly big apartment so it was no problem at all for five people to stay there. Just a fantastic place to stay if you are in New York.
I had such a lovely time in Nahalie's beautiful apartment, I was drawn to it from the beginning and was not disapointed. There was nothing that I was in need of that wasn't there, I even found a socket adapter. If I were ever to return to New York, Nathalie would be my first contact.
Nathalie and the place she hosts was great. We (5 girls between 15 and 49 years old) are very happy we chose this apartment. It was nice, clean and bright in a rather quiet street. The people living in the area was very friendly and greeted you. Five minutes walk to the subway made it easy to go downtown and good restaurants (we only tried the Italian though) nearby, also five minutes walk. If we had stayd downtown we would never have seen this part of New York and experienced this warm and... More »
The apartment was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. It was much more convienent than a hotel. We had one small issue with the toilet overflowing, but Nathalie was responsive and helpful. I appreciated the travel guides that Nathalie created. The neighborhood was welcoming, but a long walk from areas that we were interested in shopping and eating at.
The overall experience at Nathalie's was a good one. It was very spacious (enough for 3 beds), clean, and quite convenient to Manhattan. Other pluses: she had binders full of good reading material about NYC, Direct TV with tons of channels including premium channels like HBO, and a great terrace to unwind from the day. All of which would make me not hesitate to stay at her place again! There were some minor issues though: The bath tub (despite being clean) is a "bend down and spray" tub... More »
Maison des Sirenes 3 is awsome! We, a family with 3 girls aged 4,6 and 7 had a perfect stay at Nathalies lovely apartment. The apartment is very spacious, light and cool (air-conditioning!) and is beautifully decorated. We loved the bathtub-on-legs too. Nathalie is a good host, she is very friendly and helpful. The neighborhood has a lot of people from the West Indies and they were very friendly and welcoming. Several people would greet us while passing by in the streets, the atmosphere is... More »
We spend a very nice time in the Maison des Sirenes this summer. The place is very nice and near a subway station. Everything was perfect.
Nathalies apartment was beautiful and extremely clean. You can tell that she enjoys hosting visitors. We enjoyed the roof terrace and were blessed with some lovely weather although with all of the things we wanted to do could not spend enough time there! Nathalie is very helpful and has a lot of information on where to go and things to do in New York. I would definitely return there. Thank you Nathale for making our stay enjoyable.
Nathalie apartment was so lovely! It was clean, beautiful and had all the necessities for a short stay, and we really enjoyed exploring Brooklyn and Manhattan and then coming "home" to a comfortable and airy place to relax, especially the terrace. It was easy to navigate the subways to her neighborhood, and the neighborhood felt very safe, even coming home late. Also It is important to mention, Nathalie is reliable and always available. I highly recommend her apartment.
We are a Swiss-Hungarian family and went to discover New York with 4 kids betwen 11-15 years of age. It was an authentic experience! La maison des sirenes 3 was one of the nice things we met there. Not only because everything was as described and as we expected to be, but also because everything worked fine during our stay and it was nice clean and safe. Nathalie is not only a nice person, but also an excellent host. She is uncomplicated, respectfull and knowledgeable. Upon arrival we were... More »
Nathalie was warm and gracious and available. She made everything easy and convenient. Clean is important to us, and the apartment was very clean! The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. We didn't spend much time in the apartment, but it was a great place to sleep and recharge for the next day.
Wow! People like Nathalie are why I use AirBnb. She has a truly amazing apartment and cares about hosting guests. My partner and I met up with a friend in for a weekend stay--we could not have asked for more comfortable or welcoming accommodations.
Just perfect!
The apartment is beautiful. Nathalie is kind and gracious. The neighborhood is so amazing. (My two girlfriends and I came to New York with no plans - just to relax. Three 50 year old white women wandering around the neighborhood.) We did not meet one person that was not friendly and welcoming. There are little stores and any kind of food you desire. We took the subway to Manhattan (I definitely recommend the Carnegie Deli - split the order with someone!!) It was so nice to come back to... More »
Amazing time... Her place is so cute and has everything you need Love the neighborhood will definitely go back next time I'm in NY..Saranghina the italien restaurant around the corner is amazing a real pearl in the hood..: ) I loved everything about my stay at Natalie...
Me and my friend Veronica stayed for a week in Nathalies lovely appartement! We had a perfect stay and Nathalie was helpful and kind. The terrace was lovely for a cold beer in the late summernight or for an early breakfast! I will absolutely recommend this appartement for my friends! Johanna
The apartment is warm and cosy. Travelling from there to Manhattan is very easy. Nathalie leaves recommandations and reviews to her guests. Really helpful!
I visited New York for a weekend with three friends and we were instantly smitten with Nathalie's gorgeous home. It's spacious (plenty of room for four people), convenient, and above all, replete with personality and character. Throughout the trip, my friends and I remarked countless times how glad we were to be staying at Nathalie's place in Brooklyn; not only did we get to see interesting neighbourhoods many tourists never experience, returning to Maison des Sirenes at the end of the day...

Nathalie was delightful. She's obviously a warm, gentle, smart and creative person--the latter you can tell from all the vibrant, interesting colors and objects that fill her home. She was very good-natured; ready to make suggestions about what to do in the city and how to get around. She makes a very relaxed, cozy space and will make you feel at home. And the place has such amazing features, such as the chandeliers, azure Roman bath and clam shell basins!
Nathalie's place is just amazing. We felt in lovewith it as soon as we saw the pics here, but what you find when you get there is even better. Nathalie is super nice and helpful if you need her but even when she lives downstairs you won't even notice her unless you search for her. The apartment is decorated just as seen in pics, but there are beautiful details that you only see once there, such as candles, cd player with relaxing music, everything you may need in kitchen and bathroom and a...

Nathalie is a fantastic host! She was available to give us advice and directions whenever we needed them. Maison des Sirenes is beautiful. It feels so much like home. The apartment is decorated eclectically, and is very clean. The kitchen is well equipped. Nathalie has also made restaurant and site seeing guides for her guests to use. There are plenty of maps available too. We used the bus map a lot! Williamsburg is not too far away, and has a neat vibe to it, with yummy food and fun... More »
Our stay aw Maison Des Sirenes was enjoyable for its comfort, quietness and amenable layout. It fit our location needs for this visit with variety of amenities nearby (ie. groceries, nice wine store, subway. I would definitely return as a result and recommend it as well. On a star qualification I would rate it a 4 with a lot of value for the money.
Nathalie's maison des sirenes is awesome.....i have to say it was a real treat to stay in such a great place. Nathalie is a super great host, i'm happy to have met such a wonderful person........5 stars for sure.
Nathalie's brownstone truly is eden in the hood. What makes it even more special is that Nathalie is an easy going, friendly and welcoming host, who very much leaves you to it, but you can call on her any time for a chat or for help. The apartment is stunning and is beautifully decorated in an antique style, with every attention to detail. It it were a hotel, it would definitely be one of the best suites. The sunny terrace is a massive bonus, it's lovely to sit out there and have your... More »
Nathalie was a true blessing. Our stay in her home was what made our trip to New York so special. I would recommend anyone with style, class and a desire to be truly comfortable stay here. She was so accomodating, welcoming and even invited me for dinner and wine. In turn, we took extremely good care of her home. There is a lot of great energy and love there! Lot's of light and We felt rich with positivity. I can not wait to go back to Nathalie's place. :) xoxoxo Mo & Frantz
September 2009There really is no better place to stay in Brooklyn!! Nathalie is a dear friend of mine, and is a beautiful person inside and out. What she offers as a host and a home is beyond what anyone can expect. This place is not only gorgeous but also really inspiring.I was lucky enough to stay here when I moved backed from Los Angeles. It was truly like being in a exquisite resort somewhere exotic!! Highly recommended.
First of all Nathalie is INCREDIBLE!!! Her french sensibility is such a treat she is like a mythical creature that floats around her enchanting lair making sure that your every need is met. The house is WONDERFUL and its worth it to pay a little extra for her incredible breakfast!!!!
