Paris vacation apartment to rent

I am looking into renting an apartment in Paris for 4 or 5 nights in October rather than staying at a hotel. Can anyone recommend a nice clean apartment that they know of that can sleep 2 people but with 2 beds? Does anyone know of a reputable web site I can look at? This will be our 1st isit to Paris so would like to be in a central area. Thanks very much for the help.

Look at VRBO.com, homeaway, parispiedaterre.com, alacarteparis.com.



I have rented from VRBO, but not in Paris. The others are sites I have been %26quot;talking%26quot; with for a rental this December. I googled apartment rental in paris and also put in the same as a search term on this website. Reviews are also available at Slow Traveler.

We rented from Paris pied a terre and were very happy with our rental. We rented the Passy apartment in the 16th and will rent from them again.

Leslie - as noted above, there are many, many web sites for apartments, and if you do a search on this forum you will find lots of lists of apartment agencies. One thing - you need to get this pinned down as quickly as possible because October is a very popular time to be in Paris (also, typcially there are some big events that month) and things can book up quickly. Have fun with your planning, and do check back to ask opinions about apartments and/or locations you are considering. (It%26#39;s hard to recommend a specific apartment or site, because you didn%26#39;t mention your price range - try Vacation in Paris www.vacationinparis.com for an agency that a lot of people have used with good success.

vacationinparis.com is great. i%26#39;ve rented the tower view apt (#42) from them in the 2d arr. two beds, perfect for two people. and you pay in american $$.

Thanks very much everyone. I have searched the web and found countless sites, hence the question. My price range would probably be about 140 euros a night. I%26#39;ve read that you have to give a rather large deposit for apartments which makes me a bit nervous as you just don%26#39;t know what to expect when you get there! I thought an apartment might be a fun way to experience Paris as my husband is a chef and you can just imagine the food we could cook up! I%26#39;ll look into the sites advised and post back. So excited!

Shackvancouver, that%26#39;s why I like Vacation In Paris. You pay in USD, so any further flucuations in the euro will not affect you. Also, they have an incredibly reasonable security deposit. It%26#39;s a flat rate of $150 with a key deposit of $29. That%26#39;s it.

HappyGoin, I just rented from VacationInParis last week and had to send a $300 deposit. Wonder why?

I believe $150 is returned no matter what ,$150 goes towards balance. However should you cancel and Apt. is not rerented you will lose the second $150. The key fee is not returned. It is very nice to get the key before you leave home and not have to call or wait on a manager when you arrive. We did have to call the Paris contact about something and it was taken care of while we were at dinner-within an hour of call. Will be renting w/ VIP again in Aug. First apt was #156 this one will be #78.
