Choosing a hotel versus an apartment

Certainly, a rented apartment can be more affordable. However, the apartment option is only for visitors who don’t mind the possible hassle of a temperamental lock, an unreliable toilet, an absent concierge or a forgotten door code. And not everyone wants the option of no front desk, no room services, cooking diner, making coffee or washing clothes on vacation.

The most important criteria is the location of your Paris hotels or rented apartment

However, a rented apartment gives you the opportunity to have more privacy and an intimate stay with your family or friends. Moreover, you will be able to live the real Parisian if you go to food market to cook French dishes, and to a bakery for its so famous croissants.
