Paris stay for a month

Your budget sounds really low to me for a month in Paris...only rent authorized / licensed apartments in Paris, too, lots of illegal apartments offered for rent there...

This is the busiest time of year for hotels and apartments and the budget is low. The good new is that it matters not a lot where you are when you have a month. It is nice to be near a metro station or two but you don't need to be in the center and you may find something. more reasonable on the fringes -- but that is very low for a holiday apartment for a month in Paris -- you may find an efficiency for that.

It is late for next fall. I am also traveling then and my favorite place has a booking right in the middle of my 6 weeks, so we are scrambling to adjust the trip. When I inquired of another favorite agency they were also mostly booked up. WE book one bedroom apartments and most of them start at about 3500E and are often in the 4-6,000E range for a month.

Looking on vrbo, your budget for that time is doable, with many locations and they do list which arrondissement the locations are in. Maybe someone can help and give you an idea of the safer locations.

We stayed in a small, but adequate apartment in the southern 5th ARR, bordered the 13th, for 2 weeks and it was $3,100. This was last October to November. That was about as far out as we wanted to be, so unless you go a lot further out and I’m thinking beyond the 20 arrondissement of Paris, you may want to up your budget. I looked a lot on the apt booking sites in Paris, airbnb, vrbo and anything else I could find. We felt very fortunate to find the apt we did for the price as everything we had seen up to that point was much further out as to make travel in :30 or longer. Those closer in were much more expensive and not as nice.
A thirty minute commute into Paris may not seem like much, but then there is the travel time within the city.
I sure hope you find something as Paris is quite the city.

Personally, I would look in the 13th and 14th because I have looked at places there and that generally I’ve seen places that would fit your budget. It’s a great neighborhood and you’d be living with Parisians

I’ve rented from Pascal at www.ParisNiceHome.com. His rates are reasonable, and his small array of apts are well located. He’s got a nice studio near Montorgeuil that’s 2900/mo.

Thank you all for all the info. Looks like I have to up my budget a bit.

Finding a rental for a month is very tough to do, too. A week long rental, with a little flexibility on start/end dates, within a longer trip is much easier to accomplish than finding an apartment available for an entire month at this relatively short notice.

Good luck.

I spent a month in Paris in November 2021 in an apt in the 20th almost at the end of Metro line #1 and it was in a fabulous area and was $2500 total. I just came back from a month in Paris in November in the 3rd near the metros of Republique and Temple as well as Oberkampf and quite a few bus lines. $2700. I need to add I plan my trips about 9-12 months in advance and books then so rates seem to be good. I always use booking.com and very very particular about my apt: nicely decorated, 2-3 blocks max to metro, washing machine, large studio or 1 bedroom, need a couch, hand held shower, windows and lots of light, elevator or no more than 4 flights. I try never to prepay or pay more than $30 for a cleaning fee. No sofa beds, I can't do stairs in the apt itself, needs to be 7+, over 300sf with a microwave.

There are apts for monthly rentals, its the challenge to meet all my criteria. I was actually looking and you might need to stretch it a bit but list what is important to you and for instance a sofa bed may be acceptable but always read the reviews. Or maybe you live in a New York walkup and 5 flights is nothing! No reviews, no go as pictures can be deceiving.
