Buying an apartment in Paris is a daunting task with no multi listing service and far more…read morecomplexities in the process than we have in the U.S. To the rescue come Kerstin Bachmann and Ana Maria Grisanti of 56Paris Real Estate. These ladies are professional, prompt, organized and experienced! We always felt during our search that they had our backs: knowing what questions to ask, when to ask them and then pushing for answers when necessary. They know the Paris market intimately and they really got to know our preferences too. This was essential because they lead us to places we may not have considered, while also politely discouraging some "finds" we saw on the internet. Both Kerstin and Ana Maria were available to answer all of our many questions, and we had many laughs with them touring apartments before we found "the one." Merci to Kerstin and all her team for such a wonderful buying experience! Your services were worth their weight in gold!

We attempted to resolve this directly with A1 Real Estate, but they washed their hands of the…read moreserious tax issues caused by how our rental was set up. Because of this, I feel a responsibility to warn future renters. Please make sure -- in writing -- how your rental will be classified (primary vs. secondary residence), who will be listed as the responsible "occupant," and what tax obligations you may later be held liable for. I strongly recommend having a legal or tax professional review his contract. If we had known what we know now, we would have looked elsewhere. During my stay, Andy was responsive, but key information was never disclosed. The apartment was treated as a secondary residence without my knowledge, which later resulted in me being charged the French residence tax (Taxe d'Habitation) almost a year after moving out. Rent payments were also routed outside French banking channels, creating further issues with documentation and tax authorities. These practices created major, unexpected financial and legal consequences for me. I urge renters to be extremely cautious -- or consider looking elsewhere.

A CRITICAL WARNING TO ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLIENTS OF ANDY / A1 REAL ESTATE:…read moreBefore signing anything, require full written disclosure of every legal and tax classification related to your rental. Had we been given accurate and complete information at the outset, we would never have rented from him or his agency. Please protect yourself -- the issues we encountered were serious, costly, and entirely avoidable with proper transparency. Major Problems We Experienced -- With Serious Financial Consequences: * We were hit with a large, unexpected French residence tax (Taxe d'Habitation) nearly a year after moving out -- a tax burden we were never told could fall on us. * We were designated as the responsible occupant for this tax without any disclosure, written or verbal. * At the last minute, rent payments were suddenly requested to be sent to a Belgian bank account, something never disclosed upfront, which creates documentation complications and is viewed unfavorably by French tax authorities. Why This Happened (None of This Was Disclosed Upfront): * The property was treated as a secondary residence, but this was never disclosed to us verbally or in writing. * Every other secondary-residence apartment we viewed had this status clearly labeled in the listing and communicated verbally -- and none were presented as options because our situation required a primary residence for a full-time student. * These undisclosed decisions by the agency directly caused the tax liability and required significant legal and tax advisory fees to resolve. * Once these issues surfaced, Andy offered no assistance whatsoever. To Protect Yourself, Get These Answers In Writing: * Is the rental classified as a primary or secondary residence? * Who will be legally designated as the responsible occupant for taxes? * Where exactly are payments being routed (country + account)? * Will the routing create administrative or tax complications later? * Are there clauses that could shift liability onto you? * May you have a legal or tax specialist review the contract before signing? We share this so other renters can avoid the costly and stressful consequences we faced. With proper disclosure and transparent handling, none of this should happen. Renters deserve far better clarity than what we received. We attempted to resolve these issues directly with Andy, but he has completely washed his hands of the tax consequences created by how our rental was structured and reported. We also want to make clear that any earlier positive review he has chosen to repost does not reflect our current position. We formally withdrew that review, and it is inappropriate and misleading for it to be reused as though we still stand behind it. The review above is the accurate and current account of our experience. Nothing in our experience suggests that this agency operates as a safe or reliably transparent option for tenants.

So, I'm finally back from my week of living like a Parisian and I can't say enough good stuff about…read moreClickappart. They were very attentive to our needs! We couldn't have been happier with the location of our apartment. We were half a block down the way from La Grande Epicerie! (We frequented this amazing market several times a day, and I wanted to cry when I realized we were leaving and I wouldn't be able to shop here again for a while) So, here's how the Clickappart booking went down: - We found a location online and selected it, then put down a down payment via credit card. I'll admit, I was kind of skeptical but went with it. Totally smooth transaction. - Literally, the night before we were supposed to arrive in Paris, we asked Irene( from Clickappart) to book us a private Taxi. We weren't going to be near our computers or phone but when we got to the airport, our taxi guy was waiting for us and didn't drive all crazy getting us to our apartment. The ride was smooth and it was a fixed price, which was nice because there was a ton of traffic. - When we got to our apartment, someone from their agency was there waiting for us to show us our place, answer any questions, and take the rest of our payment. His English was great and he was super pleasant! - When it was time to leave, Irene booked us another private cab and he was also on time. We needed him there at 6 a.m. so we were very pleased that we didn't have to try to get a cab with our poor French for that time of morning. This was very very helpful. We made some last minute requests and Irene and staff were very accommodating They had no issues with speaking English to us, and it seemed like they were very service oriented. Our place was sooo old, but clean and spacious. I was very happy with their service and would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future. Negatives: We did get a bit cold because the only heating was the radiator and I guess I'm spoiled with our heater back home. Also, they advertised free WIFI and that basically consisted of MetroWifi which didn't always work for us even though they gave us a code to use. We do rely on the Internet for a lot of things, and this part was inconvenient.

At first, I was pleased with them, because they've found me an apartment to rent in Paris. But problems started to occur immediately. Upon entering the apartment, it turned out they hadn't fixed any of the faults pointed out to them in advance. They did it only after I sent a second request. During my 2+ years of stay in the apartment, my customer representative changed at least 5 times. In none of those instances did I receive an update regarding it. I've always found it out when trying to contact my representative and then receiving a reply that she is no longer my representative and that there's a new one (the last one - Romane Vasseur - couldn't even talk English on the phone, only write it in Email. But she was actually the most efficient of them all). Besides Romane, all of the representatives were hard to reach. In case of need, they would not reply to an Email until at least the third or fourth inquiry. One of them, Carole Charuel, ignored five messages, but when I CC'd her manager, Alexis Alban, on the sixth, she replied within a few minutes. When they were finally up to handle a problem, it would take them a long time, even if it was urgent. And they would do it in a clumsy, inefficient way. For example, when the apartment's microwave stopped working, they bought a new one, though I suggested they send an electrician first to check the socket. It turned out the original microwave was just fine - the socket was faulty. They just wasted time and money on a new Microwave. There was also a time when a worn-out or broken part of the toilet water container had to be replaced, and they claimed it's my responsibility to do so, not theirs. One client representative (Pascale Idee, who definitely was the worst one) was late for a video call we scheduled. She then also cut it short, despite me saying I still had issues to discuss, and left with "If there's anything else - E-mail my manager (Alexis Alban)". I did, but of course, didn't receive any reply. She also gave me the wrong details of the apartment's Internet account, so when it went down and I called customer support, they couldn't recognize the account based on the details I provided, which left me offline for a long time - a major problem, as I use the Internet for my work. And finally, not surprisingly, after I left the apartment, they took money from my deposit to compensate for made-up lacks, like an electronic cattle that was never there (there was an out-of-order one that I haven't touched). Lodgis's service repeatedly baffled me with its lack of professionalism, decent service, and treatment of paying clients. So, I strongly suggest NOT using Lodgis' service, which is amateurish, unprofessional, unattentive, unreliable, and impolite. Beware.

Through the language school I was able to make housing accommodations at La Cité internationale Universitaire de Paris (http://www.ciup.fr/en/). I stayed at La Fondation Hellenique in a single room. The bathroom is shared by the floor (basically it's a college dorm with a communal kitchen and washing machines). The proximity to the metro AND the tram (for those hungover/lazy days) was also pretty awesome! Tram being right outside my door and the metro 2 blocks away. _______________________ WARNING: If you do decide to stay at the Cite-U, make sure NOT to arrive on a Sunday or past 17:00h Monday-Saturday because you will be locked out (you have to be given the key by your individual house's receptionist). Make sure once you know which house you will be staying in, to CALL the house and ask them their hours and inform them of your arrival! ________________________ Moving on, My fear of being the anti-social American loner rejected by the French was gone by my 2nd day in Paris! Every night we'd drink wine and sit on the steps of the house and gather a big group. By the end of my stay our group had grown to around 25 people. On nice days, we'd sit tan on the quad and at nights we'd party at other houses.
