The Topic for Those People who Need Lodging in Paris
First things first, the question you need to request yourself at the very beginning, is what kind of rent apartment Paris you are looking for, a furnished or an unfurnished one. You are to think thoroughly about those things. If you have come to France for several weeks it will be better to have a furnished accommodation, it will ease your headache about buying different things and you can freely install yourself in a new city. Nevertheless, if the duration is long, even a couple of years, unfurnished accommodation can be much more economic, as you may furnish your apartment depending on your budget, easily from a second hand market, and can sell them off while leaving Paris to somebody else.
Two means of home renting exist in Paris. They are the “do-it-yourself” method and the “agency” way, but choosing the second one you will have to pay some extra money for rent to the company services. You must pick out 1 of these ways to find apartments rent Paris.
Of course, the agency method is much simpler. The only point you have to do is to find the English speaking agency that will have office workers with that minimum English to get what type of apartment you need. Search for yellow pages and there find “immobiliers” that means from French real estate and contact with these agencies. You may begin with the sentence 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') query which stands for 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the reply is affirmative, begin talking business. You have to remember that the commission for Paris short term accommodation may be from one month period to a full month.
For the 'do-it-yourself' ones, trust me, it can also be as easy as the other one. But if to parallel with the previous method you will preserve much more money with the assistance of this method. The problem what you might have here is to communicate with the landlords. It will be better to have some assistance. You may request for it one of your friends or to meet someone on the net, for instance. In the case when you do not have such possibility, the number of the apartments for you to visit will definitely lessen. But do not despair you will have a lot of possibilities to find an English speaking landlord. And bear in mind that a great number of Paris lessors prefer to give their rooms to persons who are native English speakers.
You can begin your search from the place that is named the “American church of Paris”. This is the area where you will meet a great number of English speaking persons and other English resources. There is a “FUSAC” magazine that you may buy not far from the main gateway of the church. (Till nowadays the greatest printed resource for English speaking people who require information in France). And the best way to get short term rentals Paris is to go on the web.
