TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT RENTAL PARIS
A two bedroom apartment rental in the heart of Paris means "togetherness" for you and your family (or friends) in one of Europe's most exciting cities. Imagine preparing your own means using the freshest produce Paris has to offer. It's just the beginning.
Imagine the money you'll save by preparing meals in your own kitchen. It means more to spend in those chic boutiques on Rue de Faubourg Saint- Honoré and Avenue Montaigne in the 8th arrondissement.
The rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré might seem a bit nondescript (particularly in comparison to the nearby Champs-Elysées), but it's a part of quite possibly the most fashionable district in the world. Along the Saint-Honoré, Avenue Montaigne and the Champs Elysées itself, you'll find all the designer houses beloved by glitterati worldwide, from Givenchy, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Guy Laroche, Nina Ricci, and many others.
But of course, these established brands are really just the beginning. For those in search of more truly trend-setting designs, the Rue Etienne Marcel and Place des Victories at the juncture of the 1st and 2nd arrondissements are a "must" while in Paris for uncovering the next big names before they happen.
For those looking to shop in a somewhat more American style, deluxe department stores such as Printemps and the Galeries Lafayette in the Opera district are definitely worth a visit. There are weekly fashion shows here, sometimes by appointment only. The BHV is another popular store, as in the art deco Samaritaine.
But the money you'll save by staying in a two bedroom apartment Paris over a hotel means more than shopping. You can save money for more selective fine dining experiences, day trips to Versailles or London, or a day at Disneyland Paris. Where you decide to stay may take some time, but with a little time and research, you'll find something among available apartments in Paris to call your own, whether short- or long-term. Your vacation rental central Paris should be convenient, and also "feel" right for you.
This may mean staying in a Paris flat on the Left Bank, from the student-friendly Latin Quarter to the glittering Saint Germain, to the shady areas of the Luxembourg area. It may mean the hustle of the 1st or 2nd arrondissements located near the Seine, the fun of the Marais in the 4th and 5th, or the artistic charm of the Montmartre. For those with families, it may mean someplace in the upscale 15th, or the somewhat more practical 10th, 11th or 12th.
Fortunately there are many apartments in Paris to choose from. With a little time, you'll find the one that speaks to you and your needs.
One good method for determining where you'd like to stay means taking stock of the necessities you can't do without. This will probably include price, whether an elevator is necessary, and other considerations such as size, number of bathrooms, and more. Make another list of "preferences." Things you would like, but are negotiable. You may find it is more important to live in a certain part of town and forego a quiet street outside. Ear plugs may do the trick. Alternately, you may decide that where you stay is less important. The metro can take you swiftly most places within central Paris, and square meters or natural light may be the primary consideration.
