Last monte Paris apartment
 
Hi all, we are going to Paris last in June, it's a last minute trip and we're having a hard time finding an apartment for the right dates.
We've checked Parisperfect, a la carte Paris, haven in Paris, Paris vacation apartments, my Paris visit, Parisian flat, guest apartments and special apartments... Any other reputable agencies we should check?
There's one apartment in Montmartre that could work, is that a good/safe/quiet location?

My spell checker changed the title of the post!!! Meant to be last minute Paris apartment!!!

You might try ParisAddress.com.
They gave me great service last month. And you pay in advance on the net and don't need to get cash to pay they upon arrival, which I found to be a real convenience.

Sorry, but at this short notice you will likely have better luck booking a hotel instead of an apartment. Most decent flats book up months in advance. And even many hotels will be booked up so get on it ASAP.

We'll be in Paris - tentatively - mid July and have not yet booked. As I look around there seems to be plenty of vacancies, though the lower priced properties seem to be booked. Have you looked at vrbo.com. and homeaway.com?
Also, what size apartment are you after - how may bedrooms/sleeps?

I'm looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom, we're traveling with our kids... a friend of a friend is renting one in 19, rue des Blancs Manteaux in the Marais... is that a noisy area?
There's also one in rue vermeuill in the 6th.
Thoughts?

Have you looked on airbnb?

Rue des Blancs Manteaux is in a nice area of the Marais and is not noisy.

How about Escalea? We booked a place for the first week of June, but have not stayed yet. So cannot recommend it yet.

Anyone else?

We 're boked through A la carte Paris... wish us luck! Turns out there's an Air Show going on in Paris at the time, which was making the apartments and hotels book up....
Thanks for all your help!!
