You’re planning a trip to Paris and you want it to be perfect. Choosing which area to stay in is your first big decision. Each arrondissement (see below) has its own charm and vibe. If you’re still trying to decide, head over to my arrondissement page for some of my favorite things about each arrondissement.
Once you have an idea where you want to stay, your next task is finding a hotel or apartment. There are many different platforms for booking hotels and apartments abroad. Expedia, Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com are some of the more popular sites. There are also dozens of other smaller private companies that offer apartment rentals. These apartments can be nice but they are often very expensive, require payment in full when booking and don’t offer free cancellation. In this post I will share with you the booking platforms I prefer, as well as when to book, the best ways to book, how to get the best value for your money and what to look out for.
How early should I book my hotel in Paris?
It’s important to keep in mind that hotel prices fluctuate, and Paris is no exception. Surprisingly, summer is one of the cheapest times to go. However, in July and August of 2024, room prices for hotels were almost double what they normally are due to the Olympics. Rates were similar in 2023 when the Rugby World Cup took place in Paris. If prices seem higher than usual, there may be an event happening in the city. Its not a bad idea to do a query to find out if there are any major events going on in your destination city during the timeframe you’re planning to travel.
Room rates are sometimes lower during the colder, rainier months of December, January and February. August is one of the cheapest months in Paris as far as hotels go if you can tolerate the heat. Many Parisians go on vacation for the entire month of August which drives hotels prices down. Some businesses may shut down for the whole month. Don’t worry, all of the major sights are still open including many restaurants. The tourist landscape will be different in August; you’re going to see a lot more families since the kids are out of school (northern hemisphere anyways). I find May, June and September to have the most expensive room rates. October is a close second, but can still be affordable especially towards the end of the month. I’ve been in Paris during the months of March and April several times. The weather during these months can be hit and miss. One March, it rained almost every day, and I’m pretty sure I only saw the sun once. April is similar with a little less rain and more sun breaks. If you don’t mind the rain though, you can find great hotel prices in March and April. The end of October is my favorite time to go because you get some decent prices on hotel rooms and the weather is still pretty good. I also like the beginning of November. It’s that time when it’s just starting to get cold. I’ve had tons of rain in November, but I’ve also had no rain and lots of sun. So it’s a gamble. I start checking room rates about a year before I’m planning to travel. I’ve seen a September room rate go from $200 a night in January, up to $350 by May. My advice is to book as far in advance as possible for the best availability and to get the best rate.
I recommend purchasing travel insurance. You can get policies that are extremenly reasonable these days. I always purchase some sort of insurance. The peace of mind is worth so much. Knowing that if anything happens you’re not going to lose all of your money. Most of these policies are very reasonably priced. They will cover medical emergencies, hotel for a loved one waiting for you to recover, flights home, replacing lost luggage and often even covering accommodation cancellations.
Determine your budget: What do hotels cost in Paris?
There is a huge range when it comes to hotel rates in Paris. Single rooms in May or June rent for $150 a night but you can also pay $400 for a similar room in a different hotel. These price differences are often related to things like having a restaurant or bar onsite, air-conditioning, an elevator, or if there is a refrigerator in the room. All of these things can drive the price up. You can decide what’s important to you and what you can live without. You can find highly rated hotels in the core of Paris for around $200 per night that have some or all of the features mentioned above. Hotels with this price point tend to be older and smaller boutique hotels. Some people see the room as just a place to sleep and shower and would rather spend their dollars on restaurants and shopping. If you need an elevator and air-conditioning and prefer larger, newer hotels you can expect to pay between $400 and $600 per night. Whichever category you fall into, you can always find something to fit your budget on Airbnb, Expedia or Vrbo. A lot of people may not know that you can find some great apartments on Booking.com.
One of my favorite features on Booking.com is the hotel calendars where you can see all of the nightly rates for two months. Once you find a hotel you like, click on it and then scroll down to where it says availability. If you’re looking at May, put your dates in as May 1st to May 31st. May and June will both show up and you can see a variety of rates. Some days may be up to 50% less than other days. This is an invaluable tool when planning your trip. This calendar below is for Hotel Villa-des-Pres, a stunning luxury hotel with a gorgeous indoor swimming pool in the 6th arrondissement. In this example you’re saving over $600 per night by going the last week of February rather than the first week of March. Having this kind of visibility can help you decide what dates to book and save you a lot of money.
This one below is from hotel Duc de St-Simon in the 7th arrondissement. In this example you can see that June 16th and 17th would be dates you want to avoid.
Is it safe to rent an Airbnb in Paris?
You may or may not have heard about the Airbnb cancellation issue in Paris. There are countless stories from people who have had their Airbnb bookings cancelled a week, or sometimes even a day before flying out. Cancellations by the host can happen on any of these the sites: Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com. Before I tell you how to reduce your risk of having this happen to you, let me first tell you the reasons a host might cancel on you in Paris. Paris has strict rules for people who list their property on these sites. For example, hosts are required to register their rental with the city, once they register they will be issued a registration number, which will be on their listing. In Paris hosts are only allowed to rent for 90 nights per year. It used to be 120 nights but Paris recently changed it to 90. Some hosts are not registered with the city and some rent their places out for far more than the allowed 90 night limit. Airbnb does not police this, it’s the city’s job to do that. In the past they weren’t policing it as much but things have changed over the last few years. The city has people combing these sites looking for offenders. When they find them, the host gets shut down, which means all current reservations are cancelled. This is the main cause of Airbnb cancellations in Paris. 90 nights per year works out to be about seven nights per month. So it’s common to see a rental that is only available say Monday through Thursday, or Friday through Sunday, or only available in July and August. Many Parisians leave the city for the summer so they want to put their place on Airbnb during that time. This is why rates go down in the summer and there is a lot of availablity.
Another option for longer stays is a mobility lease or bail mobilité. These also do not count towards the 90 day rule, but they are not for tourists, only for traveling employees or students. So if you’re employer sends you on assignment for a month or two to Paris you could rent one of these. However if you are enrolled in some sort of school, for example a language school or a cooking school, you would qualify. You can find these on airbnb by filling in your desired dates to extend for over 30 days. Click here for an example.
There are some exceptions to the 90 night limit. If a host is renting out a room in the home that they live in, that’s a different set of rules. You may be sharing the kitchen, living room and bathroom with the host. I’ve rented many of these before and my rooms all had a shower in the room. Click here to see an example. Or, if the apartment or house is a second home and not the primary residence, then the rules are also different, they can rent it out for more than 90 nights per year. The photos below show some things to look for to determine if a property might have an exception to the 90 night rule.
Thankfully, I have never had a host cancel on me, but I have rented apartments that I absolutely hated and couldn’t wait to get out of. The reviews were good and the pictures looked amazing, but the apartment was absolutely awful. Intrusive host, shower didn’t drain and overflowed, party in the street below every Friday and Saturday night until 5AM. Not only have I learned what to look for in the reviews, but I’ve also learned which listings to book with and which ones to avoid. That’s what I want to share with you next.
I own an Airbnb that is a free standing house. I’ve had it for eight years and have had Superhost status since the first year. Superhost status is not easy to get. The criteria to be eligible includes a minimum of ten completed stays, high guest reviews, quick response time to messages, and no host initiated cancellations. Superhost status has to be earned quarterly, so if reviews drop, or there are complaints, or a host cancels even once they can lose their Superhost status for the following quarter. My simple advice for booking on Airbnb has always been to only book listings that say Superhost on them. You used to be able to filter your search results to only include only Superhosts, but unfortunately Airbnb has removed that filter option. Why would they do this? Airbnb is always actively trying to recruit new hosts. For example, as a host I often receive messages from Airbnb offering me a $100 bonus for bringing in new hosts to the platform. They want to make sure they retain their hosts and make sure that the bookings are getting spread around equally. It’s my belief that this is why you can’t filter for Superhosts any longer.
There’s one other important thing to be aware of regarding this, the property itself isn’t the Superhost, the host is. Many property owners hire someone to host their property. The host sends check-in information, facilitates the check-in and organizes for the cleaning to happen when you check out. When you see that Superhost badge you might automatically think it’s a stellar property, when in fact the accolade goes to the host not the property. That being said, if someone is an Airbnb host with Superhost status, managing several properties, that host isn’t likely to sign on as a host for a property owner that isn’t following the laws. If you’re taking on those kinds of properties you’ll lose your Superhost status pretty quick. This is just something to be aware and it explains why sometimes new listings or listings with only two or three reviews have the Superhost badge.
When you find a property you’re interested in, you can click on the name or photo of the host to read their bio and you can see how long they’ve been a Superhost. If they’ve been a Superhost for several years it’s unlikely that you need to worry about a cancellation when booking one of their properties. In the past whenever I booked an apartment on Airbnb I would only ever book with someone who was a Superhost. However things are a little different nowadays. Since removing the ability to filter for Superhosts the platform has added a new badge called Guest Favorite. This badge is directly related to the property itself. To make things even more tricky there are actually two different Guest Favorite badges. The difference in the two badges is so subtle you might not even notice it. One has a yellow trophy next to it and one doesn’t. I’ve added an example below here.
It’s hard to determine why some have a trophy and some don’t. For me, if I am going to book on Airbnb, I add the Guest Favorite filter to my search. Once I find a property I’m interested in I open the listing and check to see of the host is a Superhost. I need both, Guest Favorite with the trophy and the host needs to be a Superhost. I think this is the best way to mitigate cancellations through Airbnb. On the matter of getting refunded if an apartment host or hotel cancels, from my experience and research, Booking.com is more likely to get you your money back, get it to you faster, and get you rebooked quicker.
How to choose the right accommodations in Paris
There are many sites for booking hotels and apartments in Paris. Airbnb is the platform that most people first think of for booking apartments. Vrbo seems to have a higher satisfaction rating than Airbnb but there are some things to be aware of when booking with them. Their ratings and reviews are not all from Vrbo, they include reviews from other sites. They claim that all reviews are verified but they have a disclaimer next to some of them saying “this guest booked and stayed through a partner site”. They also have fewer properties in Paris compared to other sites. I have used Airbnb and Vrbo for apartments in the past but over the last few years I’ve been using Booking.com more often. I never even knew that Booking.com had apartments. There are many reasons I prefer this platform. One of the main reasons is the free cancellation. Most (not all) of the hotel rooms and apartments on Booking.com can be cancelled without any penalty all the way up to a day or two before check in. Many hotels will offer two rates, one that is a little cheaper, a non-refundable rate and one that includes free cancellation. Booking.com also lets you add free cancellation as a filter so that you are only being shown properties that offer this. Typically the free cancellation rooms are about $10-$20 more per night. I also like that you can choose to pay later, because if I do need to cancel, I don’t want to have to fight to get my money back. You still need to give a credit card in when you book, but it is charged later, typically a week or two before check in. Sometimes you get the option to pay at the hotel when you check in, although this isn’t an option for apartments with private hosts. If it’s a hotel be sure to have the same physical card with you when you check in that you used for the online booking. Some hotels require to see the physical card that was used to book.
This one below is an example of the free cancellation option. Some hotels don’t offer free cancellation so make sure you see this and select it before booking. Below is on of my favorite hotels in the 17th arrondissement, Hotel Zoku.
Apartments don’t always offer free cancellation and often they ask for payment when you book. So make sure you’re aware of the property’s policy before booking. I’ve found some amazing apartments on Booking.com that I really wanted to rent, but not being able to cancel, especially if it’s not refundable, is a deal breaker for me. Some apartments offer a partial refund which is usually 50% of the total booking price. This might be acceptable if it’s an apartment you really like and it has high ratings, excellent location and a good price. Sometimes hosts only offer a 50% refund to protect themselves from cancellations which is understandable. If you really like a property, and want to book it, but they only offer a 50% refund if you cancel, you might be able to use your travel insurance policy to get reimbursed if you have to cancel. If an apartment on Booking.com has a lot of reviews and they’re high, you shouldn’t have to worry about cancellation. All three platforms, Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, claim that if your accommodations get cancelled by the host they will refund you and get you booked somewhere else. However, there are plenty of reviews on all three sites about how that isn’t always the case. Travel insurance is just another layer of protection.
The best way to find the hotel or apartment is to start with the rating. When I’m doing my search I look for properties with a 9.0 or higher. You can add your nightly budget to the filters as well as other criteria like, only free-cancellation properties or properties in a certain arrondissement. Once you have your filters in, hit search and start clicking on the ones you like. Reading the reviews is the most important piece in making sure you find exactly what you want. I always start by reading the lowest reviews first. You can do this by hitting the sort button and changing the order of the listings from lowest rating to highest, that way all of the lowest reviews will be at the top. If the lowest review is a 5.0 or higher then I will keep going, read through them and go to the next step. If there are five or more 1.0 and 2.0 reviews for a property I usually don’t bother going to the next step. Some hotels, maybe larger or branded hotels that have 500 reviews or more, might have more of these type of reviews. If a hotel has only 20 reviews and 10 of them are 1.0 or 2.0 stars that’s different than a hotel that has ten 1.0 star reviews out of 800. So again you have to use your judgement. All hotels, even some of my favorites have some low reviews. One of the most important things to look at when reading the low reviews is the date of the review. Are they recent reviews or are most of them from five or ten year ago? After I read the low reviews, as long as nothing mentions bed bugs, I change the filter to show me the most recent reviews. The most recent reviews will be the most determining factor for me.
Booking.com is currently the main platform I use for everything, for many reasons. In addition to not having to worry about last minute cancellations, I love their rewards program. The program is called Genius and there are three levels. You are automatically in level one when you create an account. Level one gives a 10% discount on select car rentals and hotel rooms. Level two receives 10-15% and free breakfast and room upgrades at certain hotels. To reach level two you need five completed bookings (not nights) over a two year period. Level two is attainable if you travel a lot and always book your rooms through their app or website. Level three is the same as level two except the room and car rental discounts are 15%-20%. In addition, level three members get priority support on all stays. This means that there is a dedicated help desk for anyone who is level three to speak with a live agent 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can attain level three by booking fifteen completed stays (not nights) over a two year period. Booking.com also price matches so there’s never any reason to book elsewhere. Once you reach level two or three you have it for life, so the more bookings you make on the platform the sooner you’ll get to their substantial discounts.
Below are some of my favorite boutique hotels in Paris
Hotel Prince Albert Montmartre (18th Arrondissement) It’s an old building with that historic Parisian feel. The rooms are small but well appointed and very clean. The prices in this hotel fluctuate quite a bit, but shoulder season, January through April you can sometimes find rooms for $100 a night. They start to go up closer to April but are still under $150. May is still often under $200. June through December ranges $300-$350. So still pretty reasonable. If you’ve never been to Paris before this might not be the best area to stay in only because it’s further away from the main sights. The Jules Joffrin metro station is about 3 blocks away. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who is planning to stay for more than a week. I recently wrote a blog post about my time in this neighborhood, that includes some of my favorite restaurants and wine bars. You can read it by clicking here. Click here to book this hotel.
Hotel Zazie (12th Arrondissement) Named after the character from the French children’s book Zazie Dans Le Metro, this is a quaint, privately owned hotel in the 12th arrondissement. It’s a quirky little hotel, but it is so adorable. The rooms are small but very clean and well appointed. I found the bed and the bedding to be extremely comfortable but the beds are a little short, so if someone is extra tall it might not be the best fit. There are a couple of single rooms on the back side of the building that are very affordable, between $100- $150. If you like to walk the Promenade Plantee, a hidden gem in Paris is about a half mile away. One of my favorite off the beaten path restaurants, Bamboche is also less than a half mile away. I like staying at this hotel if I am catching a train from the Gare de Lyon the next morning. It’s only a 7 minute walk to the train station, which makes it very convenient. Even if you’re not catching a train you should go over to the train station for breakfast or Happy Hour at the famous Le Train Bleu, it is located inside the train station. Click here for more details and to book.
Hôtel des Marronniers (6th arrondissement) This hotel is similar to Hotel Clément but the rooms are priced a little higher. It’s a slightly bigger hotel with a beautiful atrium and outdoor dining area for breakfast. Hotel Marronniers is just off of Rue De Seine on Rue Jacob. It is super close to the famed Rue de Buci, the Seine river and the Louvre. Many of the rooms have garden views or Paris rooftop views. There are a few rooms on the back side of the building on the upper floors that have nice views of the Saint Sulpice church. Several metro stations are nearby including Saint-Germain, Odéon and Mabillon. One of my favorite wine bars is in this neighborhood is also just around the corner, Freddy’s. The French bistro Le Mabillon is also very close by, they have good food and some of the best people-watching-sidewalk-tables in all of Paris. You will also be very close to the acclaimed oyster bar Huîtrerie Régis, and one of my favorite restaurants Colvert.
Grand Hôtel Lévêque (7th arrondissement) I think this is one of the best values in all of Paris. It’s a more touristy area than some of the other hotels, but it’s a great area! The hotel is right on Rue Cler, known as one of the most charming and famous market streets in Paris. A spectacular outdoor market, shops, cafés and restaurants flood the area! Marriage Tea, one of the great tea producers in France, has one of their bigger stores here, a must visit if you like tea. From the hotel, it’s just over a half mile walk to the Eiffel Tower and a mile and a half to the Louvre. The Rodin Museum is only a half mile away. The hotel just recently remodeled and upgraded several of their rooms. I’ve stayed here many times and absolutely love everything about this hotel.
Hotel Des Arts Montmartre (18th arrondissement) This highly rated hotel in Montmartre is so amazing, in so many ways! I’ve stayed here many times and can’t say enough good things about it. The rooms are very clean, well appointed and slightly bigger than some of the other hotels. They have a small bar just off of the lobby for breakfast, or for a drink later in the day. There is air conditioning, an elevator and a little fitness room. You can step out the front door of the hotel and be on the historic Rue Lepic in one minute. One of the best kept secrets in Paris, the hidden gem Hôtel Particulier is only a half mile walk from this hotel. La Cabanon de la Butte, a restaurant that is a little off the beaten path, and one of my favorites in Paris, is also just a half mile away as is Sacré Coeur. For those who like to walk, the Louvre is two miles away, the Eiffel Tower three miles, however the metro is close by and can take you wherever you want to go in Paris. This neighborhood is fabulous. To read my detailed blog post about the area called A Hidden side of Montmartre click here.
Hotel Dames des Arts is one of my new favorite hotels. It is tucked into a little side street behind the Saint Michel fountain in the 5th arrondissement. For anyone looking for an elevated stay, this hotel is modern and pristine. My favorite thing about this hotel is its amazing rooftop bar. You’ll have some of the best views of Paris. And really good wine! Rates run $500-$700 but if you check back often you can sometimes find them for around $395 on the booking platform.
Hotel Des Bains (14th arrondissement) This is a basic, but really cute, and very clean hotel in a part of Paris that you might not think to stay in. The lobby sitting area looks like a cozy living room that you would find in someone’s home. It’s a great place to sit and have a coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The 14th arr is typically less expensive than some of the others but it has so much to offer. Many of Hemingway’s favorite bars and restaurants are in this area, including Le Rosebud, which is only 2 doors down from the hotel (if you like Irish coffees you have to go here!) and La Closerie des Lilas (where you can sit in Hemingways favorite seat at the bar) Luxembourg Garden is about a 15 minute walk. The Orsay museum and the Seine river are only a mile and a half away or 3 metro stops. From there, the Louvre is just across the river. Unlike most hotels in this category, Hotel Des Bains does have an elevator and air conditioning.
Hotel Chouette (15th arrondissement) I spent several nights here in September of 2024 and absolutely loved it! I felt totally safe in this neighborhood walking at night. The rooms are immaculately clean and have everything you need. The pillows and bedding are super comfortable, and the bathrooms are stocked with the luxurious L’Occitane products from Provence. I had a corner room which had two large windows that open to a lovely street down below. Rates fluctuate between $120 and $300 per night, although most of the time they are under $200. Cafes, shops, and boulangeries are right outside the door. One of my favorite museums is also not too far away, Musee Bourdelle. Bourdelle was a sculptor and a student of Rodin. You can also easily walk to Montparnasse tower for some of the best views of Paris. Montparnasse cemetery is also nearby. You can still get to the sights from this hotel, but it will be a little further than the arrondissements that are closer to the river. Walking distance from this hotel to Luxembourg Garden or the Eiffel Tower is around two miles, to the Louvre or the Orsay 2.5 miles. If you like to walk these distances aren’t too far, but the Convention metro stoop is 5 min away. It’s a 20 minute ride on line 12 to the Louvre with a transfer to line 1 at Concorde. You can also travel straight to Sacré Coeur and Montmartre on this line with no transfers. It’s very easy to get to anywhere in Paris from this metro station.

Higher-end hotels in Paris
Courtyard Marriott Gare de Lyon (12th arrondissement) I love this hotel so much because of its amenities and its location. It’s right next door to the Gare de Lyon train station. I was able to stay here for several nights last year with some of my Marriott points. I literally thought I had died and gone to heaven! The rooms are large and very modern. The bathrooms are good sized and there was an amazing waterfall showerhead. I had an Eiffel Tower view room and I was able to lay in bed at night and watch the tower light up. They also have rooms with views of Sacre Coeur. I usually book these rooms directly so I can get my Marriott points and there is more availability on their site. It looks like they have pricing for the Eiffel Tower view rooms in November for under $500, and under $400 for Sacré Coeur views. Be sure to click on “standard rate” tab vs the “pre-pay and save” tab, as those rooms are non-refundable and non-changeable. Early spring can sometimes be very affordable, but be sure to book early for the best pricing. Prices change frequently so check back often. The Louvre is just over two miles away but the metro from here is super easy and fast. The station is right in front of the hotel and it’s six stops to the Louvre. To get to the Eiffel Tower you walk a little further to Bercy station and it’s about 25 minutes on the metro. If you stay here be sure to pop over to Le Train Bleu inside the Gare de Lyon train station for a morning omelette and coffee. It is one of the most spectacular restaurants in Paris. If you like to walk or run the Promenade Plantée is five min away. Also close by is one of my favorite new restaurants, Bamboche, and a favorite wine bar OLGA, where you can sit and sip natural wines paired with amazing cheeses or get a sandwich for lunch. Click here to book.
Hotel Le Pavillion de la Reine (3rd arrondissement) This hotel gives off vibes of pure luxury. The iconic front of the building is covered with ivy making it the perfect backdrop to their outdoor dining area (spring & summer). It’s located in the Marais, and the entrance is right off of Place des Vosges, which is one of the most beautiful squares in Paris. Rooms are modern and elegant with ethereal ceiling to floor wallpaper, some with exposed beams. They also have an indoor spa and fitness center. The lobby bar is phenomenal! I love the ambiance here. Cozy chairs and couches, the perfect place for an after (or before) dinner drink, which you can enjoy even if you’re not staying at the hotel. I think this is one of the best locations in Paris. Rooms are around $600 November through April and then go up to $800 May through October, although sometimes they are higher. This is one of my favorite splurge hotels! Four mile walk to the Eiffel Tower, 25 minutes on the metro. A mile and a half to the Louvre or a super easy metro ride, only 5 stops away. Very close to the trendy, fringe restaurants like Early June, Comer and Erso.
Below are some great apartments that I have found on Vrbo, Airbnb and Booking.com.
Apartment in Bry-sur-Marne – This apartment is on the other side of the periphique in the suburb of Bry-sur-Marne. It has a 9.5 rating and 36 reviews. The apartment has air conditioning, a kitchen, a walk in shower, free wifi and an amazing view! Nightly rate is $87 year round. To get to this apartment from Paris you would catch the RER A toward Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy or Torch at any of the stations in Paris where to stops: Auber, Châtelet-Les-Halles, La Défense, Nation, Bercy, Gare de Lyon, then you have to transfer to the RER E line at Val de Fontenay. You then board the RER E toward Villiers-sur-Marne and get off at Les Boullereaux-Champigny. Make sure you have the correct metro pass. From here it’s about a ten minute walk. If you have a car there is free onsite parking at the apartment.
Parc Monceau Luxury Flat – 45 reviews 9.2. The highlights of this apartment are rustic exposed beams, walk in shower with rainfall showered. No elevator or air conditioning but there is a washing machine. It has very high scores for cleanliness and location, both 9.6. The lowest ratings on this apartment were 6 and 8 and mostly due to the wifi being very poor. The host has Thursdays through Saturday nights blocked here, so the longest stay you could do is four nights, Sunday through Thursday. So still a great option but only for a shorter stay. Fully refundable with rates around $300 per night.
Nouveau Apartment Sacré Coeur Cottages – This apartment is in the 18th arrondissement. It only has four reviews but they are all tens. More and more hosts are switching to Booking.com and if there aren’t a lot of reviews yet it could just mean that they are still new to the platform and are adhering to the ninety day annual nightly limit for STR’s (short term rentals). This place is adorable and the location couldn’t be better. It has air conditioning, a kitchen, washing machine and dryer and free wifi. You won’t need an elevator here because the unit is on the ground floor. They offer free cancellation and payment is not required until a week before check-in. Rates are under $200 per night.
Apartment Champs-Elysees – This apartment is in the 8th arrondissement. It has 102 reviews and a score of 9.6 on Vrbo. The apartment has just about everything you could possibly want in an accommodation. It’s on the 7th floor of a beautiful historic building and it has a large window looking out an amazing view. There is an elevator, washing machine and dryer, air conditioning, walk-in shower, kitchen and free wifi. The only downside to this apartment is that once you book it becomes non-refundable. Rates are around $200 per night.
Studio Apartment in the Latin Quarter – This apartment has 122 reviews and a score of 10 on Vrbo. The location of this apartment is amazing as is the views out the windows and off of the little balcony. The apartment has air conditioning, walk-in shower, a washing machine, and very small kitchenette. It is on the 7th floor and there is an elevator but it only goes to the 6th floor, so you have to walk up the last fight of stairs. Rates run around $350 per night.
Studio Apartment in the Marais – This apartment has 64 reviews on Vrbo with a 9.4 rating. The location of this apartment is fantastic, it’s close to many things like the Picasso Museum and the Canal Saint-Martin, the Louvre is a mile and a half walk away. It’s a small basic studio with a very small kitchenette. It has wonderful two large windows that bring in a lot of light. Free wifi and walk in shower. It is on the 2nd floor with no elevator.
