I will have to make this quick as we are meeting our relocation gal in 45 minutes to look at 4 more apartments. It is quite interesting walking through all of these apartments. They are so much smaller and sterile in many ways. I think in the U.S. we view our homes as "our nest", therefore investing a lot of time and money into the decor. Most of the apartments that we saw have your basic furniture and Útlit and not much more. Of course, these are all rental apartments so the landlord obviously does not want to invest in high end furniture and decor just to have some American family with two kids destroy it. Oh, now I get it.

We have looked at five apartments this morning and absolutely love one of them. It has "the best" location. It is located in the 16th arrondissement is a quiet, narrow cobblestone street. The downside to this apartment is that it is very dark and quite small.

Enjoy the pictures and getting an inside look at how Parisians live.

I've been looking at pics online at apts and yes very small. Since you'll be there a year you can bring knick knacks from home and make it more homey. We're so spoiled with all the space we live in here in North America. But then again it's all part of the whole adventure of living in Paris! Good luck with the next batch you're looking at!
