Want To Rent a Flat?

I'm a bit conspicuous on the article I read today about renting a flat in Paris. It sounds like a good thing, but I'm not so sure it would be cheaper than just trying to stay in a hotel for a week. Maybe it's a great idea especially if you are looking to stay more than a week. I'm not so sure if this same type of thing could work in Switzerland but I know it does exist. Sure if you are keen to have that living feeling it might be fine, but really I like not having to make my bed or pick up the towels in my hotel room. I guess knowing people is the best resort to staying in a hotel, and was what we did on our last visit into Switzerland.
