Staying in an apartment offers you the freedom of being able to cook your own meals and relax in your own space. This is the most authentic way to see Paris - rather than being in a hotel or apartment block with other tourists, you will have Parisian neighbours and gain a better understanding of what it is like to live in Paris. Whether your stay in Paris is a long or short one, staying in an apartment will provide you with a genuinely Parisian experience you will never forget.
