Hi! We are a family of 5, 2 parents and 3 adult student children, requiring accommodation in Paris for 12 nights. I have spent hours looking through apartment rental sites and am now totally confused! We would like an apartment that is well positioned to visit tourist attractions as this is our first time in Paris. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a washing machine would be great. We have stayed in apartments in London, Rome and Florence and have found them to be great for our needs - more space and being able to prepare some meals if we want to.
It would be wonderful if anyone could pass on information regarding agencies/apartments they have used successfully in Paris that might suit our needs. Many thanks.

try www.parisbestlodge.com - Thierry came highly recommended in these forums and I used him for a paris apt but unfortunately had to cancel - very accomadating - has several apts plus others - Dale

Hello - I used Vacation in Paris on my last trip to Paris - I was able to rent a wonderful studio for 2 weeks (too small for your group!). The company was great to deal with, they are based in the US and all prices are US dollars - I found their rates were reasonable even with the exchange from Canadian funds - we received our keys and instructions/directions before we left Canada which made it much easier when we arrived in Paris. Would highly recommend this agency.

Enjoy your trip!

You've probably already checked them out - but just in case, here are our Paris Vacation Rental Reviews.

It helps to know your budget. Three of us slowtravelers stayed here which was very centrally located and would be good for a couple and three adults - two in one room, one in another. Have fun planning!
