Hotel or Apartment: Where to Stay in Paris?


As an expert in luxury vacation rentals, I'm often asked my opinion of the large number of
individuals offering their personal Paris apartments up to strangers for daily and weekly
rentals on VRBO and Craig’s List. Frankly. there are obvious advantages, most notably
the ability to enjoy the comforts of home verses the often cramped quarters of a Paris
hotel room, but that's just the start. Staying in a Paris apartment isn't just about
roominess, it's an opportunity to experience Paris life as a native in the glorious city of
Paris. It allows you the freedom to immerse yourself in Parisian culture, much like role
playing. There are no distractions, and best of all, loads of privacy.

As a renter, one is faced with risks. Yes, arriving in Paris and finding things have been
exaggerated is definitely a possibility, and having no recourse. It's actually mind
boggling when you begin to think about all the potential for disappointment even in
Paris, the City of Light.

So, what's the bottom line? There are obvious things to mull over when considering an
apartment or a hotel, but in the end a reputable agency with real references, you can
actually check is golden. Anyone can use a friend as a reference, but former guests will
always tell you the good, bad and ugly.

However, this is not always an easy task and you've got enough on your mind planning
your Paris vacation. My solution, and the reason agencies like Paris Luxe Apartments,
www.parisluxeapt.com exist is to offer you peace of mind. Do yourself a favor and seek
out a professionally managed US based agency offering multiple Paris rentals. Make
sure the agency accepts credit cards and doesn’t over exaggerate how perfect the
apartment is. Most importantly, an agency is accountable for your experience and have
the on-site Paris staff to deal with any issues. The reason I recommend Paris Luxe
Apartments over other Paris Luxury Apartment agencies is that they are determined to
offer luxury extras traditionally found in a Paris hotel. This is guaranteed to make your
Paris vacation apartment stay unforgettable.
