Studio apartment in paris

Several years ago I stayed in the apartment owned by Slim in the rue Cler area. It's in the Paris book by Rick Steves. I believe it would fit your requirements.

The price of the "Paris Home" property mentioned above is no longer in your requested price range. In Rick's Paris book , apartment resources are listed separately from hotels, on p. 436-7.

Thank you --I have the 2014 Paris and 2013 France book. Are there any changes to the apartment section in 2015? I noticed a few from France 2013 to Paris 2014

It was 6 1/2 years ago, and we had a decent, legitimate studio, 1 flight up, with a regular bed & full (albeit small) kitchen, but no washing machine. In fact, we had to use the laundromat a block and a half away to wash our sheets upon departure, to avoid an extra linen service fee. We left the sheets to dry on the drying rack as we headed out the door. Excellent location, but, again, no washer. Let me know if you would still want more info.

I rented a one bedroom apartment this past October and it was wonderful. The owner thought of everything you can think of and more. Check out vrbo.com #467733. I tried to add a link to the apartment but for some reason my new iPad isn't allowing me to do so. Sorry about that!

If you're truly ok with a walk-up you can try this one: VRBO #275340. It's a studio in the Marais area, extremely well located for seeing the sights, walking distance to the Iles, the West Bank, the Louvre, etc and located midway between two metro stops (Hotel deVille and Rambuteau). It's on Rue du Temple a couple of blocks from Rue de Rivoli. I stayed there two years ago and loved it. It's on the 5th floor so a bit of a climb but I managed it okay. It has a washer/dryer and a nice kitchen, hard wood floors and exposed beams (it's on the top floor) and has been renovated and updated, bathroom has the best shower I've ever used. It's a corner apt and it has tall almost floor to ceiling windows on two sides, no great view though. The bed is a double pull-out but very comfortable. All the comforts of home. The owner, Charles, was very easy to work with. He required a deposit but accepted PayPal so no problem. The best part is it's under $100/night.

morton, we were here a couple of months ago and were very happy with it. The only downside for us was the loft sleeping, but it worked fine. Big French windows that look out onto rue de Turenne-it can get noisy early. but they are retrofitted with double pane glass. Well within your price range.
I think one of the best defenses when it comes to all the upheaval from the Mayor's office is using a very reputable agency, and by all accounts Paris Best Lodge fills the bill-it certainly did for us.
There is another, similarly price and equipped apartment from PBL nearby, too.

Dave (or others),
What is the "upheaval from the Paris Mayor's office" to which Dave refers? What is that all about?

Kent, there has been a renewed focus on rental apartments in Paris by the city, since many (most) are technically illegal. In 2013 we had made a deposit with a private party for a Saint Germain apartment and the owner was forced to cancel on us two months out due to pressure from other residents in the building who did not want short-term renters there. That's when I recognized the value of going through a reliable agent.
There is particular attention on Le Marais.

A quick search brings up this article:

Here's the gist of it for the hot link averse:

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has a 20-person team making unannounced visits to apartments whose owners are suspected of, or turned in by nosy neighbors for, unlawfully renting to visitors. Her office also is considering a tax on such person-to-person transactions, expanding a levy of as much as 1.50 euros ($2) a night hotel guests already pay.
“We can’t have entire neighborhoods or buildings turned into tourist homes,” Ian Brossat, Hidalgo’s housing adviser, said in an interview. “That’s why we’re fighting to keep Parisians inside Paris and we won’t let tourist rentals eat up their space.”

We had a ground-floor studio near Luxembourg Gardens in December 2014 -- no washer, but a good laundromat a few blocks away. VBRO/Home Away #331155. Small but compact and great location.

I can recommend an excellent apartment for you.. with a company with excellent reviews. ALL the apartments in this building are owned by them.. so no worries about neighbors complaining ( which is how many illegal rentals get into trouble.. permanent residents complain) .

Esmeralda.. top floor, great ac, and apartment is EXACTLY as pictured. Small, but immaculate, amazing view of Notre Dame. Close to metro, RER and bus lines.. walk to many sites.

Excellent customer service.

Dave, thanks for the information!

It is true that most short-term apartment rentals are illegal. The city is currently cracking down on enforcement. This probably would not have an impact on you but rather with the owner, who would have to pay fines and stop renting in this way. It is also true that in many apartment buildings throughout the city, you would find that the neighbors are not welcoming to short-term renters. In my building, for example, we have had a few instances in which one owner was turning his small apt. into a hotel room. So be aware that there is a downside to renting a short-term apartment here. Sorry to sound negative, but this is the reality.

Check out Paris Perfect rentals. I think they're mentioned by RS. We were quite impressed with them on our studio rental. December so don't know how they price out in Sept.

Have you looked into air bnb?
