Paris remains one of the most expensive cities in France for vacation rentals, with average nightly rates around €180 — about 38% above the national average. However, prices vary dramatically by neighborhood and season.
Parisian apartments tend to be smaller than what you'd find elsewhere in France. A "spacious" one-bedroom might be 40-50m². Most rentals are in historic buildings without elevators, so be prepared for stairs. Air conditioning is rare outside luxury properties.
Paris has excellent public transport. You don't need a car — in fact, parking is expensive and stressful. The Metro covers the entire city, and most attractions are walkable from central neighborhoods.
