Paris in June for the first time
 
I need help. 4 adults are going to Paris for the first time. Anyone knows of good clean apartments with elevators that we can stay?

Also we will be going to Antwerp for the weekend and maybe Zurich.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have you tried VRBO.com? There are multiple apartments you can rent directly from the owners there. There are also quite a few other sites

parissweethome.com
parisianhome.com
ownerdurect.com
greatrentals.com
parislodging.fr
perfectlyparis.com
beau-paris.com
rentparis.com

Among a few....

Sometimes it lists directly on the site if there is an elevator or not. If it doesn't you can just email and ask. VRBO.com definitely has the most and also has the widest range of prices. You can probably find something in Zurich and Antwerp on this site as well. Some of the owners rent for a minimum of a week but the majority will rent for fewer days.

Good luck!

I love the Citadines apartment hotels. They are very spacious, have A/C and an elevator.

I just returned from Paris with 5 friends. We rented THE most perfect apartment. I was hesitant to rent an apartment because I've always felt more comfortable in a hotel. But, in fact this was by far the most wonderful vacation ever. check out the Romanee aparemtn on the website Parisperfect. com. The apartment looks exactly as it does on their website (so surprises). And, the view of the Eiffel Tower was absolutely beautiful. In fact, the entire trip cost less than expected because we ate breakfast in each day - just went to the bakery a couple of doors down for fresh croissants and bread. Then stopped at the marketplaces for cheeses, wines, breads and meats for dinner. We stayed up until 1 am each morning to watch the twinkling lights at the Eiffel Tower go off each night. We're already planning our visits to London and Rome...using the same people. They could not have been better with their pre-arrival information and suggestions. I recommend this 200%.
