We spent four days there in a crappy hotel room and I didn't ever want to leave.

I still have this image of sleeping on some strangers hide-a-bed couch and need to get over that before booking a stay with them. . .maybe your post could clarify what it is like.Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-53184182160631391922012-08-08T07:28:57.373-07:002012-08-08T07:28:57.373-07:00We would love to 'do Paris' by apartment. ...We would love to 'do Paris' by apartment.

We recently joined friends in an apartment in Paris for a week which was just around the corner from the Rue Montergueil markets and kept popping up the street to buy something all the time!

I almost always rent a small apartment when I'm in Chiang Mai. It is so much cheaper than a guest house or hotel. Lately, I have been using AirBnB. I should write a post on that. The concept is good, but sometimes the accommodation is not as nice as described. Of course, that's no different from hotels that post beautiful photos, and you arrive to find a property that doesn't even look faintly like the photos you saw online. <br /><br />Enjoy Venice!!Nanciehttp://budgettravelerssandbox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-37899100576113216482012-08-07T14:20:38.456-07:002012-08-07T14:20:38.456-07:00Okay, just the thought of playing house in Provenc...Okay, just the thought of playing house in Provence makes me smile. . .and you've certainly planted an idea for the next 'apartment getaway' we pursue.

I will really look forward to discovering it through your eyes. <br /><br />And I often recommend for friends to rent here in France--it changes everything! You live your own experience instead of what the hotel demands. Not to mention you live like a local--yes and save money to boot! Home Away is another great site to take a look at.<br />xo,<br />HHeather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-38479908515336114252012-08-06T14:02:20.255-07:002012-08-06T14:02:20.255-07:00Sounds like a dream!
