Renting an Apartment in Paris
When planning our most recent family holiday to Europe, Paris was high on the list of places to visit. Having travelled in Europe before with our children, we are advocates of staying in self-catering apartments wherever possible, and finding a suitable apartment in Paris was one of the first things we did.
Whilst Paris is full of hotels, ranging from exclusive to budget, it is also home to hundreds (if not thousands) of apartments that are available for short-term holiday rentals. Surprisingly, a reasonable number of these are Australian-owned. After choosing our apartment, a 1 bedroom flat in the 11th arrondissement, we booked directly with the Australian owner. Typically, a deposit is required to confirm the reservation with the balance payable 30 – 60 days prior to check-in. Dealing directly with the apartment’s owner was great – she was on hand to answer any questions that we had prior to our departure from Australia (What’s the nearest Metro station? How do we get to the apartment from the airport? Etc.).
