Helping US Travelers Feel at Home in Paris Since 1995
How do we stand out with Paris Vacation Rentals?
At Paris Vacation Rentals, we believe that staying in Paris should feel like… Paris. Charming, personal, and full of warmth — not just another hotel room. Since 1995, we’ve helped thousands of travelers experience the City of Light through handpicked Paris vacation apartments for rent in the best neighborhoods.
Unlike big booking platforms like Airbnb or Booking.com, which charge guests up to 20% in extra fees, we keep things simple: book direct with us and pay the fair price. That’s why we’re trusted as a Paris Airbnb alternative, offering stays that are consistently around 20% cheaper for the exact same apartment.
We’re not a faceless booking platform. We’re locals who live here, walk these streets, and know the city inside out. Our mission? To help you feel at home in a short-term rental Paris experience that’s authentic, comfortable, and personal.
Paris Vacation Rentals began with one simple idea
Great trips start with great places to stay, especially when planning a trip to Paris for the first time. Tired of cookie-cutter accommodations, our founders (a Franco-American duo) launched a service that focused on authentic Parisian apartments, a trusted Paris vacation rental experience with real charm, real support, and no hidden fees, all in the best central areas to stay in Paris.
Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted team and a leading Paris Airbnb alternative, helping travelers, including those wondering where to stay in Paris for the first time, find the perfect home base in central neighborhoods.
