A great thing about Paris is that you'll find people of all incomes and budgets living right in the heart of the city. The trouble is what you gain in location you loose in terms of space. Some apartments are small, very small, according to the law the minimum size is 9m2 however I've seen places even smaller than that where if you reach out you can touch the walls on either side at the same time.

There are still quite a few apartments without showers in these cases you have to get yourself clean at the municipal showers, the bains douches Another important consideration when renting is to make sure the heating and wiring are up to scratch Fire kills 3 in Paris apartament
if not the penalty could be severe for the landlord and even worse for you.
