Paris Apartment Information

Finding appropriate and affordable furnished apartments in Paris can be a nightmare. For visitors staying more than a few days in the City of Light, it makes good sense to rent a furnished apartment: it is (or should be) cheaper than a hotel, and it lets you really live in the capital, rather than simply pass through it as a mere tourist.

Short-term stays are relatively easy to arrange. However, the longer the stay, and the larger the apartment (two bedroom apartments are a rare find), the harder it is to find a solution. And if you are picky about your location, well, the going gets tough very quickly. Finally, if you have the misfortune of living on a less-than-Gatesian budget (ah, those sabbatical salaries!), you need to look extra hard. The good news for students is that Paris has quite a range of affordable studio apartments for medium- and long-term rental.

The job of Paris Apartment Information (PAI) is to make the search process simpler. PAI is not an agency, and we accept no commissions: we merely provide information about agencies and listing services, and we then let you duke it out with the other party. (We do accept advertising on this site to help pay the bills, but there is a firewall between the ads and our content: we just don't care what the advertisers say.) We also provide a forum for visitors to exchange tips, or even to post occasional rental opportunities.
