Broca -mouffetard

Nicely appointed apartment with a downstairs master bedroom and bath convenient to Port Royal, Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens and much more.

This property was a lifeboat for us in that our previous reservation cancelled leaving us having to find a place for 6 adults in Paris on short notice that wasn't going to bankrupt us. This property met those needs. However, please note the following before booking. This is a converted shop space that was previously a Pizzaria, or so our French family members told us. What this means is that you are opening a plate glass shop door right into one of the bedrooms and the lock is at the bottom of the door. We kept the key in the lock just in case we needed to exit quickly! The space has been converted in a haphazard manner and a number of items are clearly in need of repair, e.g. the Fawcett in the kitchen, and the wooden stair railings. Speaking of the stairs, I would consider them hazardous as they are very steep and almost like single steps. Another review describes them as like a ladder, which isn't quite accurate, but for a very young child or someone with any mobility issues they present quite a challenge. You also have to use them as the bathroom is in the basement, hence stair use is absolutely necessary. The basement is also where the largest bedroom is located, and the space is interesting given it looks like you are in a limestone cave. However, the smell of mold is pervasive, and the bathroom had actual mold on the shower walls. We called and were told someone would be right over to clean, but that didn't happen. In short, place to sleep, but not a place to hang out!
