Paris Apartments
 

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has used "Provence West" to book apartments in Paris? I am looking at booking "Le Clery" in the 2nd Arrondissement and was hoping someone else might have stayed at this particular apartment. It looks nice on the website, but just thought I would see if anyone has any comments.

Thanks for any help.

I've never used them nor heard of them, but I looked for your apartment and it looked very nice.

I looked at others in the area and saw that they are renting apartments represented/owned by www.parisvacationapartments.com. Provence West rents them at a higher rate than PVA. So you might want to do a few searches and see if you come up with Le Clery from an original listing. You may save some money. Perhaps someone else will recognize it.

I assume you're looking for a 2-bedroom?

Yes, I am looking for a 2 bedroom. I thought that the price is a bit high for that apartment. I might try some others.

Thanks,

Here's Le Clery at a lower price: http://www.haveninparis.com/rental/montorgueil.php

Thank you so much for that website. I can't believe how much cheaper it is on Haven in Paris. I am not very good at booking apartments. I booked a house in LA last year, and it was not a good experience so I've been a bit burnt. Hopefully I will have better luck this time.

CW, I just wanted to ask you if you have ever dealt with Haven In Paris? I have never stayed at an apartment in Paris before.

michjv,

I have not rented from Haven In Paris, but they are well reviewed. A recent Fodorite "Clarin" has just reserved an apartment with them on another poster's recommendation.

I've rented two apartments in recent years (parisianflat and PVA) and felt confident renting with them after reading reviews of the agency on-line.

I have rented several times through Vacation in Paris and have been very pleased. In addition to the quality of the rentals, the whole rental process is relatively seamless as they are located in NJ and they mail the info and rental agreement, as well as the keys to the unit and emergency numbers to call in case of any problems about 2 weeks prior to your departure date from the US. Great experiences!

Thanks for the help CW and Ediemay. I have heard a lot of good things about VIP, but they didn't have anything suitable during the time that I'm going to Paris.
I have reserved with Haven In Paris, and feel quite confident in them. They seem very professional.

michjv,

That's great. Hope you report back on your trip.

Hi CW, yes I will try and do a trip report. I have never done one before, and have always meant to.

Bon Voyage!
