First of all you are to determine 1 point, which apartment rental in Paris will be the most appropriate for you, furnished or unfurnished one. If you are remaining there for a few months in Paris, you can determine going for a furnished accommodation, as in this way you do not need to purchase anything, no headache, and you just require to settle yourself here. But if to look at it from the other side, for example you have to live here for a few years, it will be much cheaper to rent unfurnished apartments. You may go to a secondhand market and furnish your flat with furniture you like most.

There exist 2 ways to get an accommodation in Paris, the 'do-it-yourself' method, and the 'agency' method for those persons who are wealthy enough to pay a month of rent extra to the agency for their services. There is no other mode to rent apartments Paris short term.

Of course, the agency way 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 understand what type of accommodation you need. Do some search in the internet, get the yellow pages, and look for the part 'immobiliers' (French notion for real property) and begin phoning them. You can start with the phrase 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') question that stands for 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the answer is positive, start talking business. Remember that there can be 2 terms to make a payment for Paris short term apartments: half of a month's and full month term.

The “do-it-yourself” way can be also so easy one as the way with the help of a company. But the difference is that due to this method you will save much more funds than in previous situation. The problem what you might have here is to converse with the landlords. It will be better to have some help. You can request for it one of your friends or to meet someone on the net, for instance. If you cannot, then of course you are limiting the amount of apartments that you may visit
