9 of the Best Airbnbs in Paris
Paris accommodation, much like New York City, can be expensive and cramped. While the most luxurious hotels can make your stay.. they can also break the budget!
Enter airbnb. You can easily find Parisian apartments with panoramic views over the city, family friendly duplexes with bunk beds for the kids, and penthouse apartments with incredible roof top terraces. Did you know Paris even has a hip, artsy district called Canal St. Martin where people live in houseboats? Yup, those are available to rent too!
Here are our picks for the best Airbnb homes in Paris.
1. Airbnb near the Louvre
This gorgeous apartment is perfect for large groups. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, it can fit up to 14 people! Even better, the historic building has been fully renovated to a beautiful contemporary design while retaining its heritage.

For 2 people visiting Paris for the first time, there’s nowhere better to stay. Alice’s apartment is within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysee and Arc de Triomphe, but far enough from the crowds that it’s nice and quiet. Best of all, it’s beautifully decorated!

Airbnbs in Paris: Know Before You Book
Pack Light
Parisian buildings often have beautiful inner courtyards and grand staircases, but not many will have elevators or AC. If they do have an elevator, it will often be tiny – and I mean really tiny. Sometimes, the lift is only big enough to fit 1 person so you might have to send your luggage up on its own, ha! Try to pack light!

Floors are Numbered Differently
Floors in France are numbered differently than in America. The First Floor is always the story above the ground floor, while the ground floor is called the rez de chaussée. To simplify it in your head, think of the floor number as the number of stairs you have to climb!
Registration
One of the requirements for airbnbs in Paris is that hosts must register their apartments and are limited to rent out their units for a maximum of 120 days a year. So listings on airbnb should display their 13 digit registration number on the listing, to demonstrate compliance. At the time of publication, all of the listings do so and have excellent guest ratings – but as always, do your own research before you book!

Visiting Paris – Travel Checklist
Flight Deals | We took a red-eye to Paris from JFK. You can find cheap Paris flights from low-cost carriers almost all year round – check for flight deals here.
Tips | Paris has some of the best museums in the world. I spent an entire summer living in the city, visiting different churches, museums and historic homes and still couldn’t get enough. If you plan to sightsee, look into a Paris Pass – it’s a great value! The pass can be purchased for multiple days and allows you to skip the line at 60+ attractions. See the full list of included sights and attractions here.
Insurance | Lastly, be sure to visit Paris with travel insurance. Whether you get injured and need to be hospitalized, or your phone gets stolen, or an injury forces you to cancel all or part of your vacation, travel insurance will help when you need it most. Get a quote for your trip here.

Hi Sher,
I loved reading your article about 9 of the best Airbnbs in Paris. When I tried to link to Airbnb for the first 2 places on the list, I wasn’t taken to the right properties. I tried to find them other ways as well, without success. Can you please advise me how to access those particular properties? Property 1 is a 3 bedroom/2 bath renovated historic building near the Louvre. Property 2 is a 3bedroom/2bath duplex in the 1st arrondissement that directly overlooks Palais Royal.
Thanks so much for your help,

Hi Carol,
Sorry about that! Airbnb has gone through a lot of changes, especially with the new laws in Paris (they banned most short term rentals) so a lot of the listings aren’t available any more. I’d try just searching on airbnb now, or VRBO. I actually have switched to using VRBO since the extra fees on airbnb have gotten ridiculously high!
