Our 10 days in Paris were significantly enhanced by our decision stay at the Bric et Broc , in the Paris City Centre . It was the perfect location : we easily walked to the Llouve , the Opera Garnier , the Seinne and So , so much more . The apartment itself is lovely , spacious for 2 but can accomodate childern as well on the sofa bed . It is exactly as it appears on the pictures , only nicer I think . The historic building is impressive . We found it had all the necessary equipment although we never used the kitchen , other than the microwave and Nepresso coffee maker ( a delightful find as I use one a home ) . We were in the Marais district and Restaurants with sidewalk dining and Patasseries we literally as close as 2 mins from our “ petit apartement “ . And another plus - the apartment is on the ground floor , no stairs to climb . The bathrom was up to date and with attractive mirrors on the wall . Further more we found everything spotlessly clean , all in very good condition except a broken handle on the kitchen door . Truthfully the only downside we found was the mattress on the bed was too “ firm “ for us and so our sleep could have been better . For that reason I give it 4 .5 stars , not 5 . The gentleman at the agency are lovely and helpful and their office is just nearby . I hope we can return again , to this same location . We have travelled extensively and IS Paris as a spectacular experience .
