Airbnb Paris: Find accommodation in the city of Light

Are you planning a trip to the capital and looking for a comfortable, well-located rental with a local touch? An Airbnb in Paris is the best solution. The City of Light is full of unique accommodations, often more spacious and welcoming than a hotel, perfect for enjoying a romantic weekend, a family holiday or a getaway with friends.

Why choose an Airbnb when visiting Paris ?

Choosing a short-term rental in Paris through Airbnb means opting for a freer, more personal and more enjoyable way to discover the capital and its culture.

With Airbnb, you can arrive whenever you want and leave whenever it suits you. No fixed reception hours or rigid constraints! Short-term rentals offer self-check-in options, secure key boxes, and sometimes even luggage storage so you can enjoy Paris as soon as you arrive. For travellers, this flexibility changes everything.

Authentic accommodation in every neighbourhood

One of the great advantages of an Airbnb in Paris is the diversity of accommodation on offer. Airbnb studios in the centre of the Marais, family apartments in Montmartre, accommodation near the Eiffel Tower, houses with gardens in the 16th arrondissement… each neighbourhood has its own atmosphere, secrets and typical accommodation. You are in the heart of the city, not in the corridor of an impersonal tourist establishment.

A local and comfortable experience

In an Airbnb, you experience Paris, you don’t just visit it. You shop in the neighbourhood markets, drink coffee downstairs, listen to the sounds of the city from your flower-filled balcony. Fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, high-speed internet, sometimes even a view of the Seine, a jacuzzi and other little extras… Everything is there.

The best neighbourhoods to rent an Airbnb in Paris

The neighbourhood of your Airbnb in Paris will completely change the atmosphere of your stay.

Le Marais (3rd and 4th arrondissements): chic, lively and central

Le Marais is one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods. Here you will find charming apartments, often nestled in old buildings with parquet floors, exposed beams and sometimes even a balcony overlooking a courtyard. Close to the Seine, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, Le Marais is an excellent choice for those who want an Airbnb in the centre of Paris so they can do everything on foot.

Montmartre (18th): bohemian and romantic

Perched on its hill, Montmartre offers a picture-postcard setting. Cobbled streets, stairways, breathtaking views of Paris from the Sacré-Cœur… It’s the perfect neighbourhood for a romantic weekend or an artistic getaway. The cosy studios and furnished apartments for rent here appeal for their authenticity and village atmosphere.

Saint-Germain (6th arrondissement): elegant and historic

On the Left Bank, Saint-Germain-des-Prés embodies literary and chic Paris. Sophisticated boutiques, iconic cafés, galleries and museums are found on every corner. Seasonal rentals here are often high-end, ideal for long stays or business trips. The accommodation combines old-world charm with modern comfort.

The 7th arrondissement: Eiffel Tower views and tranquillity

If you’ve always dreamed of staying somewhere with a view of the Eiffel Tower, look no further! The 7th arrondissement combines residential elegance, green parks (Champs de Mars, Esplanade des Invalides, etc.) and proximity to monuments. Airbnbs in Paris’s 7th arrondissement are often spacious, bright and perfect for a family stay.

The 16th and 17th arrondissements: residential and family-friendly

These two arrondissements in western Paris are appreciated for their calm, proximity to large parks and bourgeois atmosphere. Airbnbs in the 16th and 17th arrondissements are ideal for families, stays of several days or travellers looking for maximum comfort.

What types of accommodation are available in Paris ?

With tens of thousands of active listings, Paris has a wide range of Airbnb rentals to suit all styles, preferences and lengths of stay.

Perfect for a weekend in Paris, fully furnished studios are often located in the city centre, close to transport links and tourist attractions. These rentals offer everything you need (double bed, equipped kitchen, bathroom, sometimes even a washing machine or a balcony with a view over the rooftops of Paris).

If you are travelling with children or in a group of several people, a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment will suit you better. These spacious accommodations often offer a comfortable living room, a fully equipped kitchen and easy access to green spaces to enjoy the surrounding nature.

Lofts, penthouses and luxury accommodation

The City of Light also offers high-end accommodation for lovers of design and breathtaking views of the city. If you are looking for an Airbnb with a jacuzzi in Paris with a panoramic terrace, swimming pool, dressing room, home cinema and sometimes even a concierge service, this is exactly what you need.

Unusual Airbnbs (views of the Seine, flower-filled balconies, etc.)

Treat yourself to an Airbnb at the foot of the Louvre, apartments with direct views of the Seine, a room nestled in a former printing house, or a studio perched under the eaves with a flower-filled balcony. There are even pet-friendly Airbnbs if you are travelling with animals.

Practical tips for booking an Airbnb in Paris

Booking an Airbnb in Paris is easy… but certain details can make all the difference.

Book in advance, especially during peak season

During the summer, at Christmas, or during events such as Roland Garros or Fashion Week, the best-located accommodations, particularly Airbnbs in Paris’s 17th arrondissement, get booked up very quickly. To secure a rental in the heart of the city, it’s best to book several weeks in advance.

Choose well-rated accommodation

Read reviews from other travellers. Accommodation with an average rating of 4.8 or above, with several recent reviews and managed by a Superhost, is generally a good bet. Pay attention to the regularity of bookings, the responsiveness of the host and the quality of the photos.

Check the amenities (lift, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, etc.)

Don’t assume that all apartments in Paris have a lift. Also make sure that the kitchen is equipped, that the Wi-Fi is stable, and that the bathroom has a proper shower. If you are staying in the summer, air conditioning is also essential.

Check the proximity to public transport

In Paris, everything can be done on foot… but not everything. An Airbnb a few metres from a metro station guarantees you quick access to museums, historic districts, train stations and all the destinations you want to discover during your visit (Versailles, the south of the capital, etc.).

Airbnb in Paris: how much should you expect to pay?

The price of an Airbnb in Paris varies depending on the season, neighbourhood, type of accommodation and even the view.

Average prices by neighbourhood

The average price per night in Paris for a seasonal Airbnb rental is between €150 and €200, one of the most expensive in France.

Periods when prices increase (summer, Christmas, events)

During holidays, Christmas, or cultural or sporting events, rates can increase by 25 to 40%. An Airbnb with a balcony, view of the Seine, or jacuzzi becomes highly sought after. To avoid price increases, consider booking early or looking at districts that are slightly further out.

Best practices for saving money

• Book early, especially for periods of high demand.
• Target neighbourhoods close to the centre but less touristy (Airbnb in Paris’s 9th arrondissement, etc.).
• Take advantage of medium- and long-term discounts (between two weeks and one month).
• Discover Lavie Maison’s exclusive offers.

What to do around your Airbnb in Paris?

Good accommodation also depends on its surroundings. Paris offers hundreds of ideas for making the most of each neighbourhood.

Cultural activities and museums

From the Louvre to Orsay, via the Museum of Modern Art, Parisian museums are easily accessible from most Airbnbs. Near the Marais, don’t miss the Picasso Museum. A stone’s throw from Montmartre? Head to the Museum of Romantic Life.

There’s nothing like strolling through a Parisian garden. Luxembourg, Tuileries, Buttes-Chaumont… or simply along the banks of the Seine. Some accommodations give you direct access to these green spaces. After your walk, sit down on a terrace for a café crème or a delicious croissant.

Climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, attend a concert at the Olympia, hunt for treasures at the flea market, cross the Île de la Cité, admire Notre-Dame Cathedral, attend an outdoor exhibition, visit an old cinema, explore the Place de la Bastille… There is so much to do.

Whatever your travel style, there’s an Airbnb in Paris that’s perfect for you ! For a tailor-made stay, without compromising on comfort or experience, Lavie Maison opens the doors to the most beautiful accommodation in the capital.

What are the advantages of choosing an Airbnb in Paris over other types of accommodation?

How do I choose the ideal neighbourhood to rent an Airbnb in Paris based on the type of stay I'm planning?

For a romantic getaway, Montmartre with its bohemian atmosphere is perfect; for a historic and chic experience, opt for Saint-Germain-des-Prés; the Marais is ideal for being at the heart of Parisian life and for easy access to the main monuments; finally, the 16th and 17th arrondissements are particularly suitable for families and travellers seeking peace and comfort.

What specific amenities should be checked before booking an Airbnb in Paris?

It is crucial to check for the presence of a lift, especially if the apartment is on a high floor, air conditioning for summer stays, a functional kitchen, stable Wi-Fi, and a modern bathroom with a proper shower. The option of self check-in can also be a plus for greater independence.

How can you estimate the budget for an Airbnb rental in Paris depending on the time of year and the neighbourhood?

Average rates vary between £100 and £250 per night depending on the neighbourhood, with a 25-40% increase during the summer holidays, Christmas and special events such as Fashion Week. To keep your budget under control, it is recommended that you book early, opt for less touristy neighbourhoods close to the centre, and take advantage of discounts for medium to long stays.

What cultural and leisure activities are easily accessible from a Parisian Airbnb?

Major museums such as the Louvre, Orsay and Picasso are easily accessible from many neighbourhoods. You can also enjoy the many parks such as the Tuileries or Luxembourg, stroll along the Seine, or discover typically Parisian experiences such as climbing the Eiffel Tower, attending a show at the Olympia, or exploring the flea markets and historic neighbourhoods.
