We ( family with 3 kids 5-10 and 13) stayed for two days in maison des sirenes, and really liked it. The appartment has a lot of space, is lovely decorated in a personal style, everything was clean and the beds were perfect ( good matrasses, nice linnen) ! We did not have the possibility to meet Nathalie, but she had everything perfectly organised with the keys. A couple of days before we arrived we also had mail contact in which she gave some tips about the neighbourhood. In the appratment is a good wifi connection, and the codes were available on a note on the table. We only made some tea, but there was a well equiped kitchen for who likes to cook or stays a little bit longer. Nathalie left also some guide books about new york in the appartment in different languages. Bed-stuy is not very touristic, but for us it was a perfect place. We admired the brownstones, had crepes in Paris Dakar, and it was easy to do some groceries near by. The appartment is a few bloks walk from the metro station, with a good connection, downtown manhattan can be reached within 15 minutes bij the a/c line. During the nights it was quiet in the appartment, no noise from neighbours or the street.
