Authenticity<\/h3>\n
Do you want to live like a Parisian in a Parisian apartment<\/strong> with a Parisian interior? Or do you want a bland, international setting that leaves little room for emotion? Enjoy your own space, instead of shared space and a cramped room in a hotel. Once you realize that the minimum surface area required for a hotel room in Paris is just 10.5 m\u00b2 for a 1-star hotel and 24m\u00b2 for a 5-star hotel, and that, on average, they’re not much bigger than this (15% at most), it’s a done deal. Would you like to have the unforgettable experience and the priceless opportunity to meet authentic Parisian waiters<\/strong> at each meal? Or to be rushing down to your hotel’s breakfast buffet before 10am, still half-asleep, to consume the unappetizing (and expensive) dishes? Would you like to switch off the light in your hotel room as soon as the little ones are asleep and miss out on the full Parisian experience? Or continue reading with a glass of wine in hand <\/strong>for a few hours and, perhaps, open the window to listen to the sounds of the Parisian night?<\/strong> Once again, money matters. Consider that the average price of an apartment<\/strong> is lower than that of a hotel room, the option to eat meals in the apartment <\/strong> instead of going to restaurants, free wifi access, use of a washing machine<\/strong> instead of pricey laundry services… need we say more?

\n <\/p>\nPrice<\/h3>\n
\nThe average price of a 3-star hotel room in 2013 in Paris was 172 euros<\/strong> (source: KPMG) with prices in different areas varying from 100 to 260 euros per night. And that’s just for two people! <\/strong>
\n <\/p>\nThe famous cuisine…<\/h3>\n
\n
\nWould you prefer to have breakfast at home<\/strong> with Paris’ world-renowned croissants <\/strong> (with or without butter) and a “tradition” baguette<\/strong> that you bought on the street corner? And, in the evening, why not have a delicious cheese board, fine wine<\/strong> and a few pastries<\/strong> that you’ve picked up along the way?

\nWhy should you have to abide by your kids’ curfew?!
\n
\nOf course, hotels have their advantages: room service, daily housekeeping, restaurants, a mini-bar full upon arrival…
\n
\nWhat you want to keep as a memory of Paris<\/strong> is up to you! In several years’ time, what will you remember?<\/strong> Which photos will you look at with fondness? Which experience of life in Paris will stay with you the most?
\n <\/p>\nSave money to make the most of experiencing Paris<\/h2>\n
\n
\nRenting an apartment is less expensive than staying in a hotel. In Paris, you’ll have total freedom to spend your money in museums<\/strong>, boutiques, delicatessans and gourmet restaurants<\/strong>.
