This page contains the most frequently asked questions concerning Paris apartment rentals with Rentals in Paris

- What are your terms and conditions for rentals?

You can see our rental agreement here. You will be asked to sign and return a copy of this agreement to confirm your Paris apartment rental.

- Do you have a minimum rental for your Paris apartments? Do you only accept weekly or monthly reservations? Do we receive discounts for stays of more than one week?

We do have a one week minimum rental for all apartments. The weekly rates are listed on each apartment's individual description page. If you reserve for more than a week, we simply prorate the additional nights at the weekly rate. We then have a slight discount for two week rentals, three week rentals, and a more significant discount for a monthly rental. We also offer discounts for last minute reservations.

- What payment methods do you accept?

You can pay for your rental by Visa/Mastercard online using our secure server. If you prefer, you may pay by bank wire transfer. We require a 50% deposit to confirm your reservation, with the balance due 30 days before your arrival. We'll send you full instructions on how to pay when you book.

- Are there additional 'hidden' costs on top of the rental rates?

No. We believe that it is better for clients to know what to expect up front. We have therefore put pictures of all apartments and their surrounding areas on the website, and there are no hidden charges - no charge for electricity, and no charge for the phone or the internet.

- What are your office hours?

Our office is open Monday - Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. We always have access to our messages regularly during the day and evening, so we'll always be in close contact with you in case you need anything.

- What about weekend or evening arrivals?

Although our office is not open officially on weekends, we have our arrival staff come in when we have arrivals on Saturday and Sunday so it is important to coordinate them with you well in advance to make sure they go smoothly. If a special check-in time is requested after 6:00 P.M., a special service may be hired, if available. In that case, the company must assess an additional charge of 150 Euros to cover the additional cost of the check in process. We have no choice about this, and therefore ask guests to do their best to arrive earlier in the day when possible.

- How does the telephone work?

It is set to "local." What this means is that you are free to use the phone, at no cost to you, to make local Paris phone calls - i.e.dinner reservations, train station info, etc.. However, to make a long distance, or international call, you will need a calling card, either an ATT card, or a French telephone card that you can buy here in any of the telephone shops.

- How well equipped are the Paris apartments?

- Are linens and towels provided?

Yes, most apartments have queen size beds with sheets and pillow cases, and a double sleeper sofa with sheets and pillow cases, as well as sufficient blankets. All bathrooms come with ample towels for the number of people officially staying in the apartment.

Every apartment is at most 5 minutes from a Paris Metro Station, RER station, or a Paris bus stop.

- Are the apartments located in Noisy areas?

The apartments are all located in the best locations available in Paris, which implies areas with a great deal of activity.
