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 Maison Des Sirenes at the end of the day and relax. The Italian Resturant in the next block is not to be missed. While this is not the normal "bed and breakfast" experience of having someone spoil you - I will recommend this place to everyone. What a wonderful adventure. Thank you Nathalie!! Dee, Linda and Julie
