We are a family of four (two teenage daughters) planning a trip to Paris July 14-20. Does anyone have suggestions for a suitable apartment? Budget is between 150-200 Euros if possible with the usual caveats (close to metro, safe)

Use AirBnB or FlipKey. You shouldn't have a problem finding something in your price range, as long as you understand that your accomidations will be "Paris sized." (How much time are you really going to spend there, right?)

I second vacationsinparis.com! They're wonderful. They have folks in the US as well as a management team in Paris. Affordable, clean, easy to book/pay, great customer service, and their site is easy to find the right flat for you! Check out #237 - in the heart of the 6th, 4 adults, and we were able to walk everywhere! Have a great time!

I agree with the Vacations in Paris recommendations. Very friendly, very knowledgable, get the keys before you leave, etc. I also agree with the note about the size of Paris apartments. They can be tiny, but so much roomier than comparably-priced hotel rooms in my experience. Hope you have a great trip.

I booked through Paris Vacation Apartments and was very happy with location, apartment, and service. Just wanted to give you another option in your search!

Thanks everyone - vacations in paris apartments look pretty good though it is a little tricky to get the price right since I'm right around the $300 CDN trying to get 2 bedrooms if possible so my girls don't have to sleep on a sofabed - my wife is still a bit nervous about it though!
