Does anyone know anyone in France who rents out apartment for travellers. I need a week at the end of July?

Question

I don't want a hotel either. I am looking for something in Paris for me and my cousin. And nice but cheap.

Answer 1

I don't know of any specifically, but if you google Paris apartment rentals you'll get lots of sites.

Answer 2

I went on Craig's List and clicked on vacation rentals, then

choose Paris, France.  We typed in Montmartre stucio

and got a ton of listings, including some links to vacation

rental sites in Paris.  We found a great studio for $100 a

night, which is a deal as the cheap hotels in Paris are almost

that much now because the dollar is so weak It cost about

$1.30 to buy 1 Euro, so it was pretty expensive.  We just

came back last Saturday.  The one thing we found is that

the cheaper restaraunts weren't worth it, decent cooking

seems to cost at least 15-20E for dinner, anything else

cheaper is pretty mediocre.  But there are a lot of ethnic

places where you can get sandwiches, panninis or wraps

for cheaper to take out.  Get a Paris Visite pass for the Metro

we got a 5 day pass for about 22E, you get unlimited rides

on the metro, busses and the RER trains for zone 1-3 which

is pretty much the city, you can get 3,5 or 8 zone passes if

you need to go further out, the zone 5 and 8 also gets you to

the airports for no extra charge (zone 3 you have to pay for

the train to the airport)  Figure on spending about $100 a

day for food, tickets for museums and the Eiffel Tower or

the catacombs, and maybe souvenirs.  Be aware that the

popular tourist sites are infested with gypsies, they wander

around asking if you speak English and if you answer them,

they sometimes hand you a tattered postcard with a message

implying that if you give them money you will be lucky and

all sorts of good things will happen to you.  Or they just pester

you until you hand them something to go away....so the best

way to deal with them is no eye contact and no response.

(I know that sounds sorta cold, but after the 20th time, you

get a little tired of it all)  We had a great time, walked a lot,

you can walk from the Notre Dame to the Eiffel in a couple of

hours, there is a neat walkway along the banks of the Seine

that we really enjoyed.  We went to the Musee d'Orsay to see

the Impressionists on the top floor (Degas, Monet, Renoir, etc)  And of course the Louvre, peaked at the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo then went to the Egyptian, Assyrian, Persian

section, which was cool.  But the place is huge and you have

to map out what you really want to see.  The catacombs are

interesting and not too expensive. And window shopping on the Champs-Elysees is cool  (but the sidewalk cafes there are really expensive, 7E for a coffee....)It was warm and a little

muggy last week, even rained a couple of days, but it was

still fun, but it gets pretty hot in July and August, so look for

a place with AC.
