I too would be interested in viewing a list of apartments for the budget traveler.
My wife and I have been renting several times apartments in Paris for our holidays. We are using the services of AhParis, and we have been very satisfied so far.
The few appartment we stayed in were very cosy and nice. There are a lot of choices, and it's a lot easier then an hotel when you travel with kids.
The owners who welcomed us were each time very friendly and helpfull with tips and so on. Each time we feel like home in Paris !
