Websites to use for vacation rentals in London/Paris?

[Anonymous]

What websites have people had luck with for this? Also, are vacation rentals allowed - I wouldn't want to do anything in legal gray area.

Also, can anyone recommend neighborhoods/areas that are good for both safety and basic tourist/transit convenience? 2 adults/2 teens hoping to spend $400/night, absolute max $500. We are not traveling until 2025, just wanting to do initial research and get a lay of the land.

Thanks in advance.

I did use AirNnB in both cities. I look for listings that claim they are officially registered. And lots of reviews.

At your price point you could probably look at official apartment hotel chains in Paris.

I have never used VRBO. I distrust their refund policies. AirBnB fully refunded us when the pandemic hit and we had to cancel a Paris apartment stay.

PP- I'll add $500/night in London close-in will be tough if you want AC (and judging by the last couple summers you'll want it).

We've used airbnb and Sonder in London. Also Citadine in Paris.

We stayed in an Airbnb in South Kensington with a/c for $150/night. We didn't end up needing it though.

That is a ridiculously low price. That is nowhere near the market price now for 2+ BR places anywhere within central London. Anything 2BR+ around $350/night (with taxes/fees) is to be expected.
