Where to Stay in Paris

Where to Stay in Paris -- Guide to the best (and safest) apartment rentals in Paris.

The first time Kevin and I went to Paris, we didn’t have the greatest hotel experience. The second time, when I went with my friends, we had an AMAZING experience! We stayed in a Girls Guide to Paris apartment. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay.

 

2 bed / 2 bath on Isle Saint-Louis

Our apartment was a huge, 2-story apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It easily slept 4 people without feeling crowded.

There was a beautiful, light-filled dining room…

And a spacious living area. We sat out here every night with our laptops and PJs.

There was even a second living area! So much space! Such a stark contrast from a cramped hotel room.

There was even a cozy fireplace. Love.

One of the best parts of renting an apartment was having a full kitchen with refrigerator. We bought yogurt, croissants, European butter, and bread for a quick breakfast before heading out for the day. Perfect for busy mornings!

There were 2 full bathrooms complete with a washer and dryer. No need to take time away from vacation to visit the laundry mat or pay for expensive hotel laundry!

The bedrooms had a quiet view of a private courtyard. No loud city noises when trying to sleep.

The apartment was in a fabulous location on the Isle Saint-Louis, right in the heart of Paris. We were close to everything, and walking distance to Notre Dame and the Louvre. The living room and dining room overlooked a quiet street with tons of fun shops. We spent all morning just wandering and browsing.

Here is the exact apartment we stayed in. If you are looking for a place to stay in Paris, I HIGHLY recommend it!

We also got to take a tour of a few other Girls Guide to Paris apartments, for future reference. ;) This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in Saint Germain was gorgeous.

St. Germain is such a great neighborhood in Paris. My favorite kouign aman and breakfast cafe are here. I would love to stay here sometime to explore this area more!

All the Girls Guide to Paris apartments were stocked with plenty of towels. We had enough for 4 people to use for a week in our apartment, so we didn’t have to do laundry on vacation!

This building was awesome. So much charm. I’m not sure if you can tell from this picture, but the building was round, so the doors were round. Each apartment had a doormat outside to let you know what floor you were on!

So now hopefully  this gives you a few great options on where to stay if you’re planning a trip to Paris! :) After my first trip and the experience I had, I didn’t have any good recommendations, but after having been this second time, I feel confident in recommending a Girls Guide to Paris apartment. We had a great experience! I would definitely stay with them again. :)

Girls Guide to Paris also just came out with a new guide to Paris cocktails, guiding you to 100 of the best French bars in Paris. So if that’s sounds good to you, be sure to check it out! :)

Until next time!! xoxo

    My husband and I are planning a trip to Paris and Rome. What is your recommendation on who to book flights and hotels through?

    Amanda, I love the beautiful apartment you stayed in and all the wonderful dining recommendations. I am planning a trip to Paris in July with my family and plan to contact the agency about the exact apartment you stayed in. My husband will only return to Paris if we are not in a hotel – too cramped for him. Would it be okay to mention your name?

    Merci Beaucoup!!
