Any used www.only-apartments.com to book Paris Apartment?

Hello Travelers,

Has anyone booked www.only-apartments.com before? I can't seem to find any reviews about this company. I just booked an apartment in Paris with them, and the deposit was 500 Euros. Is it normal to pay the deposit in cash or with credit card?

Thanks!

I would recommend booking.com instead. You can find a lot of the hotels/apartments on both websites and booking.com usually has more reviews, better cancellation policies and you don't have to pay a deposit in advance.

I used this site 4 times in the past and never had a problem. I would recommend them if there is an apt you like.

The deposits depend on the owner of the apt.

It is normal to pay deposits as the owner or agency wants, can be many different methods. It is definitely not the norm that everyone takes credit cards for that. But if you already booked it, didn't you already pay it anyway? How would you pay by cash long distance?

The worst rental company I have ever dealt with.

My wife and I rented an apartment through Only Apartments at the beginning of July 2015. When we arrived at the apartment, we found not only that it had misrepresented its location but is was not even in stayable condition. It was so bad that we had to find another place to stay that day. We immediately tried to contact Only Apartments and the owner to ask for a refund. Only Apartments has NEVER replied to our several emails requesting help from them in acquiring a refund. The owner has been unwilling to give us a refund.
We simply do not understand why we have been ignored!!
