First things first, the question you have to request yourself at the very beginning, is what type of apartment rental in Paris you are looking for, a furnished or an unfurnished one. Look at the problem from several aspects. If you would like to remain there for a few months it is better for you to rent a furnished apartment, because it will relieve your headache about purchasing various objects in your new flat and you will be vacant to settle yourself in a new place of living. But if to look at it from the other hand, for example you have to stay here for a few years, it will be much cheaper to rent unfurnished accommodation. You can go to a market of used things and furnish your accommodation with furniture you like most.

So, you have got only 2 ways to look for an accommodation in Paris, they are: the “do-it-yourself” way and the “agency” method. But bear in mind that selecting the second way you will have to pay an additional month rent for the agency services. You are to select one of these means to get apartments Paris.

Of course, the agency method is much easier. The only thing you have to do is to find the English speaking company that will have office workers with that minimum English to get what type of apartment you require. Search for yellow pages and there look for “immobiliers” that is translated from the French language real property and call in those companies. After you have called to a company you are to say 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') which implies “Good day, do you speak English”. And if the answer is positive, you may say what you need. You are to remember that the commission for Paris short term accommodation can be from one month period to a full month.

The next “do-it-yourself” variant can be the similar easy as the preceding one. But the diversity is that due to this method you will save much more funds than in preceding case. The main difficulty here is in the case that you should speak with lessors. It will be better to have some assistance. You may ask for it one of your friends or to meet somebody on the internet, for example. If you don't have such a man you will have to look for an English speaking lessor that will surely limit the number of the apartments that you will call on, but don't be afraid you will find such persons. And the main advantage that you will have is that French landlords are willing to give their rooms for native English speakers.

You can start your search from the place that is called the “American church of Paris”. This is the place where you will find a lot of English speaking people and other English resources. Buy a magazine “FUSAC” that can be found near the main gate of the church. (It is the greatest English speaking resource that you may find in France). And the greatest mode to receive short term rentals Paris is to go on the internet.
