Have you tried this?

Thanks, Peter, that's a great resource. We've been looking for apts in
Paris.

neighborhoods !

I guess images of rampaging youths burning cars in the streets are
filmed in a movie studio then.

IIRC, that happened outside Paris, i.e. not _intra muros_.

Stay in a hotel, those self catering apartments can be a pain in
the neck, especially if your command of French is limited.
They need a huge security deposit, you have to arrange to collect keys
and bedding etc., memorize entrance codes, then you are on your
own in a strange building with maybe not so nice neighbours.

They are great for a couple, or families spending a week or more,
but for five nights a nice hotel will be much better, and maybe
cheaper.

A compromise between hotel and apartment could be a studio at one of the
Citadines locations in Paris. www.citadines.com . The only caveat is that
the bed in the studio is usually a fold-out sofabed.

and as Irwell said "They need a huge security deposit" They close early,
if you
arrive late, you can't get in. If another customer lets you in you can't
get a
key.

Actually Citadines' policies are very similar to those of a hotel when
booking for a short stay. They require a one-night deposit which is fully
refundable if cancelled before noon on the day of arrival.
Don't know anything about issues with keys. When we stayed in Citadines, we
had our own key that opened the door after hours.

Pretty much everywhere I've seen a studio will have a sofa bed. There
have been occasional Murphy beds but most are sofas.

Actually, if you can believe the photos on the site, the St.-Germain
location in Paris has Murphy beds.
