Has anyone used parisforrent.com? looking for an apt in Paris in June
 
Hello
Has anyone used parisforrent.com? They seem to have good reviews on trip advisor. My husband and I are going to Paris in June. We would like something central (how's the 6th arrondissement?) since our son will only be 14 months old and we would need to make frequent stops back in the apt. Our major requirements are kitchen and washer/dryer. thanks in advance!

I haven't used that one before but seems ok. I've rented apartments in Paris quite a few times and I tend to start with VRBO because many times, apartments are listed on several sites. For example, I just rented a 3 bdrm apartment for my family for term time in early April using VRBO and the apartment it turned out was managed by parisdeluxerentals.com which gets good reviews so you might check that site also.
I like to rent mostly in the 6th as I like that area and especially some of the little side streets. However, I also find that the edges of the 6th (going towards the 7th or 5th) are good as well plus we like the Marais (4th) so long as we stay closer to Place des Vosges area and river. Really, anywhere central and convenient to the Metro is good with a young one and we just got used to carting the maclaran stroller up/down stairs for Metro!

thanks everyone... we did end up going with parisforrent... the deposits required are large but they get good reviews.
