It looks like the decision as been made for France as the upcoming destination. I've been having difficulty finding an apartment for two in Arles for less than a week, and was wondering if anyone knows of anything available? I've checked the major sites like vrbo and the uk ones, but am having a hard time finding one in town for just 5 nights. Any help is welcomed. Thanks,
Jan
I rented this place a little over a year ago: http://www.vrbo.com/128269 I think I rented it for 5 nights too but I ended up paying for the week. It was fantastic though and I will definitely return. There's a great bakery just a few feet from the entrance and one of the best Vietnamese restaurants a stone's throw away. I have the same problem too with renting for a full week as I am sometimes a day or two short, but if you ask the owner, sometimes they give you a break. LOVE Arles! PM me if you need some more info. Glad to help.
Looks nice, but, man, it's already booked for almost all of May ( when I'll be there ). Oh, well...
Yeah...May is popular. There isn't a whole lot of apartments in the city center of Arles either. You may have to settle on a hotel if you are set on Arles. Have you looked at St. Remy? It was 2nd on our list. I wasn't overly impressed with it but I was there in March and I understand it's quite lively after that. There's usually quite a few gites in the countryside too. Driving in that area is pretty easy.
Jan, the standard term for rentals is a week. Perhaps you could make that work for you (though you'd be paying for 2 extra days, it might be better than a hotel). However, if you are to find anything I think it would be for 7 days.
Adam is spot on about the week thing....but always ask! It's rare I can fit into the Saturday to Saturday mold so don't discount a place because they say that is their policy. Most places I stay in say this but I still manage to get them to accommodate my schedule. You never know unless you ask.
Thanks, the both of you. Yeah - it looks like it'll have to be a week, but I'll definitely ask if I can stay for a shorter period. Although, depending upon cost, I'd have to make sure that we wouldn't be eating too much money.
