We had no idea where to start when looking for a place to stay in Paris. Luckily, my friend Marlene suggest vrbo.com (Vacation Rentals By Owner)--it was just what we wanted! We were able to find a great apartment to rent for the 6 days we spent in Paris.
Here is the link to the actual apartment we stayed in. It was lovely! The courtyard was TO DIE FOR gorgeous and it was in a nice, quiet area. It was close to a Metro station and within about a 20 minute walk to Notre Dame (which is great first thing in the morning and almost killed me when we walked home at the end of the day).
And the owner, Yael, was excellent--so helpful, even when someone happened to blow a fuse trying to plug in her flat iron and sent someone right over... Needless to say, I had horrible hair this whole trip.
My only complaint was the bed (and this goes for every bed we stayed in on this trip)--too hard. We American's must be used to softer beds or something. But at the end of a long day traipsing around Paris, any bed would do!
Yea! So glad VRBO worked for you. We found it to be way cheaper than a hotel. The place looks so cute.
