At first glance the website seemed very promising. The photos looked good, the prices too. But,…read moreonce I searched for actual dates I couldn't get a single quote from the automated system that matched the rate posted (from 180 euros or 120 euros, etc per night). The rates were double or triple the ones in the listing so instead of 120 euros the total quote would be for 300, 400 or 500+ euros per night. An automated window popped up. Even after I explained what I wanted at that moment the person "Gabriella" kept insisting that I give her an email address and was never able to show a single example of an apartment with any date that matched the price quoted in the listing. It seemed like a bait and switch to me.

The bed\ was advertised as a King but was really a Queen and was so hard and crowned in the middle that it was impossible for the two of us to use. So my husband had to sleep on the "sleeper" sofa. There was no bedding for it and the metal frame was broken in half leaving a very sharp, dangerous metal rod sticking out of the side. Someone had tried to pound it back but it still cut my husband on the leg. In addition the mattress on the sofa was about 2-3" thick offering NO support. The wooden slats were miserable to sleep on. We complained to A La Carte about this but were told they didn't own the apartment and weren't responsible!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!! In addition, the apartment was so poorly maintained that the light switch to the bath fell out onto the floor forcing us to use a dark bathroom!! Finally, we moved to a hotel a day early to try to get a night's sleep. When we moved pout early we sent an email to Katy we received NO RESPONSE!! DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!!

What's the best way to see paris for $2? On a bike!…read more One of my Paris highlights were this bikes! Though they may look clunky and hideous, they are great way to get you anywhere. After a couple days of walking everywhere my legs were dying. As much as I wanted to see everything paris had to offer my legs were telling me NO! Good thing we decided to try these bikes out because they saved our legs and took us to places faster than our two feet ever would. The website makes renting these bikes simple enough. You register online and pay with card and create a PIN. An email is sent to you with user numbers, that you'll need to enter in the kiosk to get a bike and don't forget your pin. As long as you return the bike to a station within 30 minutes you're guaranteed a $2 paris excursion all on two wheels. Most of the station are available on most popular areas and around the corners in big intersections. You can always rent the bike from the kiosk if you don't have time to register online. When you return your bike make sure to see a green light appear on your stand. If not, you can go to the main kiosk and troubleshoot from there. My light went orange in one instance because I shoved it in the wrong angle and the kiosk released it, so I could retry sliding it in. It was fun biking around like a local because even the locals use them. It was super scary biking on crowded roads with cars, but compared to America, french drivers are totally aware of their surroundings. The insurance you have with these bikes are they are heavy and big enough to keep you stable and withstand a lot of beatings. The fenders on the bike also come in handy for those spontaneous mother nature drizzles.

(The first 30…read moreminutes of each bike use is free and then you get billed 1 euro for every 30 additional minutes.) After buying online, it was super easy. All I had to do was enter in my account number, which was sent to me in my confirmation email, enter the PIN number I created online and then select the bike number I was going to use. Done! Most of the bikes are in good shape with quick release seat, bike light, bike lock etc but a few needed a quick tune-up. If you find yourself returning your bike to a full station, you can enter your PIN number into the machine and you get 15 minutes to find another nearby station. What is amazing is that there are over 20,000 "community" Velib bikes across 1,500 different stations that are located all over Paris! There is even a smartphone app that you can use to find out where the closest Velib station is at so you can return the bike and which station has available bikes to use. It was a great way for us to see Paris from a different perspective. Most of my friends that saw our Paris pictures said, "Wow, that's so cool that you rode bikes in Paris."
