Short-term apartment rentals sound just like what they are, short-term. Instead of signing a contract for years, you would sign one for a week or two, or a month or two, whichever you may prefer. Another upside of staying in a short-term vacation apartment is that you do not have to follow any specific itinerary, and you can easily just relax and enjoy the sights and sounds at your own pace. Enjoy a cup Parisian coffee out on the balcony of your apartment and watch the sun rise over the horizon. With a hotel, you don't typically get that kind of opportunity. There are many different kinds of apartments to choose from as well, depending on your wants and needs. If it's just you vacationing in Paris, you may want to opt for a studio apartment, or if it's you and your family, you can snag a two bedroom apartment to fit everyone!

There are several reasons why one would want to rent an apartment over staying in a hotel. Many people who have previously rented have said that the apartments have a more homey and cozy feel, something that you surely cannot get in a hotel room. Most of the apartments that are available for short-term rental are quite close to many areas of convenience such as metro stations, grocery stores and more. Depending on where you choose to rent, there may even be free wi-fi internet service.
