When renting an apartment, what’s the difference between high season and low season ?

In order to offer you the best prices for a furnished apartment in Paris, MyCityFlat lowers its prices during low season.

Low season for furnished apartment rentals goes from January 4th to March 31st and from November 1st to December 22nd. Low season dates are marked in green on the calendar that you’ll use to choose you arrival and departure dates.

High season goes from April 1st to October 31st et from December 23rd to January 3rd (marked in yellow on the calendar).

When renting an apartment, how do I get reimbursed for the final cleaning costs ?

Before you leave the apartment that you’ve rented in Paris, you should :

Thoroughly clean the apartment
Un-make the beds, fold the sheets and place them on one of the beds
Empty the garbage and throw out any leftover food in the apartment
Vérifier que vous n’avez rien oublier dans l’appartement…

As soon as we’ve checked to make sure that everything has been taken care of in the apartment, we’ll reimburse you the cleaning fees. The fees will be credited directly to your credit card.

When renting an apartment, can one avoid paying the weekend supplement ?

If you arrive during the weekend, we strongly advise you to take advantage of our shuttle service. This is the easiest way to get into your apartment. And in that case, you will not have to pay a supplement for a weekend arrival.

The chauffeur will take you directly to the apartment and give you an envelope containing:

The keys to the apartment
A copy of the contract to sign and give back to the chauffeur
A credit card payment authorization to sign and give back to the chauffeur
You should keep your copy of the contract and your copies of the credit card receipts. The day before your arrival, we will have charged the remaining balance to your credit card.

When renting an apartment, why does MyCityFlat charge 2% credit card fees?

Most of our competitors ask their clients to pay the rent directly to the property owners. Unfortunately, property owners only accept payments in cash.

To avoid this situation, MyCityFlat gives you the opportunity to pay the rent by credit card. After depositing your payment, it’s up to us to pay the landlord.

Even though we don’t make money off of this rent, we still have to pay bank fees for it. So, in order to offer you the opportunity to pay by credit card, including the rent that you pay, we ask you to pay the 2% fees that the bank charges us.

On our commission, however, which corresponds to the initial deposit used to guarantee your reservation, there are no fees for paying with a credit card.
