TERMS AND CONDITIONS

My first condition and the most important one is: please do not smoke in the apartment

In order to reserve my apartment, you need to request for a stay. Once I confirm availability and price is agreed I will send you a Paypal invoice and a booking contract, to be returned either by email or by fax. This contract includes details such as dates, rates, number of people, exact address of the apartment. A brief summary of what is said on the contract can be read below:

RATES:

Please check the apartments pages for costs and availability. The tariffs are inclusive of all expenses such as gas, electricity, telephone, cleaning, except for monthly stays.

MINIMUM STAY :

Minimum stay is 3 days. Stays of two days are possible if there happens to be a gap of 2-3 nights between bookings.

METHOD OF PAYMENT:

I do not accept cheques.

If the booking is made within eight weeks of the letting the whole of the rental payment is payable either by Paypal or bank transfer before forwarding your booking form.

If the booking is made prior to eight weeks of the letting a rental deposit of 25% of the rental sum is to be paid either by Paypal or bank transfer and the booking form either posted or faxed. The remaining balance of the rental sum is then due eight weeks prior to the letting.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: 

A €200.00 security deposit is also payable together with the rental sum during money transfer or Paypal and will be returned in the same way upon check of the property. It usually takes one day or two for me to return your security deposit following departure.

The customer accepts responsibility for deterioration risks via the security deposit. You will be liable for any damages caused during the rental period and discovered during check-out (Eg: chocolate or wine stains on the white sofa). Minor accidents such as a broken glass or similar will of course not be taken into account, but I appreciate you reporting all incidents.

If the 'non-smoking' policy is not not strictly adhered to, it will lead to a deduction of €75.00 from the deposit. This is because I consider it unfair to those guests who do not smoke, so I am strict with this policy. I advise that, if you are a smoker, you look elsewhere for an apartment with balcony or with a smoking relaxed policy.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

Arrival time is from 15.00 onwards, although it is often possible to check-in from 13.00 depending on availability from the cleaning person. Please ask for an early check-in if you require one.

You will receive instructions on how to gain access to the apartments once you have paid in full for your stay.

Departure is at 11.00 at the latest. This is to allow time for the cleaning person to go in and leave the apartment ready for the next guest. This takes two hours. Please let me know your arrival and departure time as soon as you can.

INSURANCE:

'My Paris Apartment' is under full legal home insurance, however this insurance policy is not a replacement for your own multi-risk insurance policy in case of accident, loss, robbery or other. To protect yourself, please take out a travel insurance policy while abroad or ask for social security international card in your health center if you are from the EU.

CLEANING:

The apartments will be thoroughly clean before you arrive. We will expect to find them reasonably tidy when you depart, otherwise the cleaning person will need to spend longer tidying up and cleaning and we will to deduct this from your deposit. The apartments are strictly non-smoking and no pets are allowed, sorry. Cleaning is done once a week but if you wish additional cleaning during the week, I can arrange that for you for an additional charge.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

If a cancellation is requested more than eight weeks in advance of the letting, we will return the balance of any monies paid, less the rental deposit (25%). If the cancellation is requested within the eight weeks prior to the letting we will retain the 25% rental deposit and also the balance of the rental (should it not be possible to re-let the property for this period).

If you cut short or cancel your stay once you have occupied the apartment, in the event of unanticipated interruption, no refund at all will be possible.

OTHER CONDITIONS:

Apartment 1 is only a 'sleeps 2' apartment. Unless I make a personal exception. This is because I focus on quality and aim for my guests to have a nice and comfortable stay. Three or more adults staying on a 30 sq m2 apartment is not suitable. For groups of 3 or more people, we recommend our one bedroom apartment (Apartment 2).

The apartment manual will tell you how things work and both my telephone numbers will be there in case you need me.

We hope the above conditions sound reasonable to you. We would like to make you feel welcome if you stay in one of our apartments and your feedback is always appreciated.
