Have I left it too late for booking Paris

Will need an apartment in Paris from a Saturday possibly a Friday to a Sunday/ Monday, for 8-10 nights. May 10/11 to the 19/20. Have I left it too late? Just got a good airfare which puts us back in Paris at end of trip. Would be our first time in Paris

Try the official apartment chains if you want something certain six months in advance: Adagio and Citadines
At least you will not have the rug pulled out from under you at the last minute in case Paris manages to crack down on all of the illegal rentals next year.

You should be able to find something 5 months out. Sure, many will be booked - but there will still be openings. You'll just have to search.

What is your budget?

Also you may find an apartment w/ only 7 or 8 days availability . . . You can always book that and move to a hotel for the last couple of days (or first couple of days depending on the timing)

Hi wn,

> Have I left it too late?<

Not necessarily.

What's your budget?

No, it's not too late, but you do need to be diligent about your searching, keep at it, and not wait too much longer.

We are 2 looking for something in the 7th arrondissement. Will be flying in to Orly and out from CDG. Want good kitchen but basically clean and good value.

I have stayed in this apt twice. It is in the 4th, but a great price and a great owner who is a pleasure to work with as well.

Sylvain also owns this smaller unit, that at least 2 Fodorites have also stayed in:

I meant to add, there is no calendar on either apt, but email Sylvain if you are interested. He is very prompt in replying. Be sure to tell him Deb from Albuquerque sent you - he will take good care of you!
