Has anyone ussed myparisapartment.fr to book?

Hi There,

Has anyone heard of myparisapartment.fr?

It%26#39;s our first time in Europe, and not sure whether it is custom to provide a contract after you pay for the deposit in France.

And charge an extra 40E for earlier check in time (there check in time is 5pm!)

Thanks guys

Usually the contract is presented before paying the deposit. Personally I wouldn%26#39;t pay a deposit without having a contract presented beforehand.

The apartment rental agency I booked was flexible with the check in time. I guess the agency can charge extra if it%26#39;s an early check-in time or have you reserve for the day before arrival, but to me 5 pm is not a normal check in time. Even hotels%26#39; check in times are more or less 3 pm. So I think that that 40 euro charge is unfair.

I haven%26#39;t heard of the rental agency you mentioned, but I would suggest the one myself and my friend have used (unfortunately I had to cancel my booking but they refunded me less a small admin. fee): www.parisaddress.com.

They have quite a lot of apartments to choose from with reasonable rates.

SydneyChic is that url correct? I can%26#39;t get anything at it.

Usually, the extra charge for earlier check-in is due to extra expense involved in getting the apartment cleaned.

I%26#39;d want to know check-out time, before determining 5PM check-in time to be unreasonable. And, how early you can check in for the extra fee.

According to the FAQ%26#39;s, you are sent a booking confirmation and %26quot;accomodation voucher%26quot;, which would satisfy me (and preferable to a lengthy, confusing, %26quot;contract%26quot;).

My contract was not lengthy or confusing although I suppose other agencies do have those.

Hi SydneyChic, what time do you arrive in Paris that day? I have used www.parisaddress.com twice and friends have used them and generally the check in time is 2 pm, (check out by 10am) but they will make it earlier if there is no-one there the night before. If you have an early flight I would look at other agencies such as www.parisaddress.com and many others that will let you in by 2pm if not earlier.

That is what I thought was weird...pay the deposit then you get your contract, no one does that.

I think their check out time is 10am, the property that we wanted to rent was a studio which wouldn%26#39;t take no more than 2 hours a clean.

And for the extra 40Euros to check in at 1pm will still leave us wondering around Paris for 3 hours in the gold...

Hi SydneyChic, so 10 am is their check out time. That%26#39;s good to know.

They could very well let the guest enter earlier than 5 if they wanted. To me I think they probably want to make some extra euro by charging for earlier check in.
