Paris Apartment
 
Hello,<BR>Has anyone booked an apartment with the "Paris Sweet Home" (www.parissweethome.com)agency? I am looking at their "Rue Cler" apartment. I didn't find any reference to them when I searched apartments on this message board. First hand experience would sure make me feel like I'm not taking such a risk. Thanks

I considered this same option but discarded the apartment in favor of a hotel. There seemed to be too many unknowns with apartments and we had a rather bad experience in Boston, Ma with rather poor (but very convenient) accomodations.<BR>Maybe that will bring some one out of the woodwork to talk about apartments vice hotesl.<BR>Mike

Just checked out the site. If I were going to rent one of their apartments, here are a couple of questions I'd ask. One, Is the bed is a futon or a double/queen bed? The idea of sleeping on a futon for a week does not appeal to me. Two, I'd ask about access to the apartment. What floor is it on? Is there a lift?<BR><BR>Maybe we could sent out an "apartment tester" to determine if this is truly a "find." I'll volunteer! Send your checks by US Mail. Just kidding. Have bookmarked the site and hope that someone who's stayed in one of their apartments will report in.

Found a guide to several appartment vendors(realtors) at:<BR>http://www.parisinsites.com/<BR>We still will know nothing but the advertisement hype but there are more choices. Some look much better that earlier ones I saw.

I had an excellent experience dealing with Pascal Zytomirski.<BR><BR>Here are the apartments he rents:<BR><BR>One bedrooms :<BR>75 Bd Malesherbes, 4 people, in the 8th district, Madeleine Opera area, Metro St Augustin<BR>24 rue des Vertus, 4 people, in the 3rd district, in Le Marais, Metro Arts et Metiers<BR>11 rue de la Huchette, 4 people, in the 5th, Metro St Michel in the Latin quarter.<BR><BR>Studios:<BR>11 rue Duvivier, Studio for 2 in the 7th district, MEtro Ecole Militaire.<BR>24 rue Xavier Privas, Studio for 4 in the 5th district, metro St Michel, in the latin quarter<BR>37 rue de la Harpe, Studio for 4 in the 5th district, metro St Michel in the latin quarter<BR><BR>You can email Pascal at [email protected] <BR><BR>Pascal acts as the rental agent for all the owners. He will meet you at the apartment with the keys after you arrive in Paris.<BR><BR>I rented the apartment at 11 rue Duvivier and was very satisfied. Apartment rentals work best if you are staying longer than a week. My apartment was quiet and totally modernized with a washer/dryer. The cost was much less than a hotel room would have been for a lot more space.
