Paris Accommodation Rentals
August 14th, 2008First things first, the question you are to ask yourself at the very beginning, is what kind of apartment rental in Paris you are looking for, a furnished or an unfurnished one. Look at the question from a few sides. If you would like to stay here for a few months it is better for you to rent a furnished accommodation, because it will relieve your headache about purchasing different things in your new home and you will be free to install yourself in a new place of living. But if to look at it from the other hand, for instance you have to live here for a couple of years, it will be much more economical to rent unfurnished apartments. You may go to a secondhand market and furnish your flat with furniture you like most.
Two means of home renting subsist in France. They are the “do-it-yourself” way and the “agency” method, but choosing the second one you will have to pay some additional funds for rent to the company facilities. There is no other way to find apartments rent Paris.
The agency way is easier, you just have to look for some English speaking agencies, and you have lots of service suppliers who talk that minimum English to converse with you, at least enough to rent you a flat. First of all you are to find in yellow pages the section “immobiliers” (French translation for real estate) and then phone in the agencies that you will observe there. The first phrase of yours should be 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley'), it means “Good day, do you speak English”. If there will be a reply “Sure”, you are welcome to speak on the point. You have to bear in mind that the payment for Paris short term accommodation may be from 1 month term to a full month.
The “do-it-yourself” method can be also so simple one as the way with the help of an agency. But if to parallel with the preceding way you will save much more money with the help of this method. Only in this situation you will have to talk to lessors that bring you a problem. Here, you need an assistance of someone who is local here, it can be either one of your friends or a person that you have met on the internet, for instance. If you can't, then of course you are restricting the number of apartments that you may visit
