1. What is the minimum stay?
Our minimum charge is for seven days. Because our rates are reasonable for the quality of apartment, frequently guests choose to stay only five or six days, even though they pay for seven nights.
2. Does my visit have to start on a given day, like a Sunday?
Your visit can start any day that works for you. We understand that everyone can’t fly to France on the weekend! Often a guest will spend a night at a hotel either before moving into the apartment or at the end of their stay in order to fit a stay with us into their schedule. We’re always happy to help you make arrangements.
3. Does my visit have to be in one week increments or can you stay, for instance, for 10 days?
You can stay as many nights as you like (and that are available) as long as you pay for the minimum 7 nights. We typically add the extra days on a pro-rata basis.
4. Is there a price advantage for longer stays?
During certain times of the year, primarily during the winter, visits of more than two weeks are eligible for significant price reductions.
5. Is there a separate cleaning charge?
We do not “add-on” a cleaning charge as many hosts do. We’ve never figured out why they don’t just build it into the price, unless it’s a way of misleading you about their charges.
6. Is there a separate charge for linens?
We don’t add a separate charge for linens and towels. It’s part of your basic charges, but many hosts do charge additional amounts, so be careful when comparing costs.
7. How do I get the keys?
Depending on your arrival arrangements we either send you a key or give you entry codes. We’ll be speaking with you several times before your arrival to work out the best arrangement for you.
8. Is there maid service?
Our maid will come in and clean the apartment on a weekly basis. That charge is included in your rent.
9. Is there a hairdryer?
We do have a simple hairdryer in each suite.
10. Is there an iron and ironing board?
We do have an iron and ironing board in each suite.
11. What credit cards do you take?
We take Visa or Mastercard only.
12. What kind of deposit do I have to put down and is it refundable?
In order to reserve a suite we charge 20% of the expected total to a Visa or Mastercard. It is refundable, less a $10 fee, until 31 day prior to arrival date. It is not refundable after that for any reason. If you have doubts about your ability to make the trip, we suggest you contact your insurance agent about travel insurance.
13. When is the balance due?
The balance of 80% is due 30 days prior to arrival date, or immediately if booked less than 30 days prior to arrival date. No amount is refundable within 30 days prior to arrival date for any reason. If you have doubts about your ability to make the trip, we suggest you contact your insurance agent about travel insurance.
