Nos équipes se tiennent à votre disposition pour vous fournir tous justificatifs nécessaires aux démarches visant à bénéficier d’aides au logement. La caisse d’allocation familiales reste seule décisionnaire pour l’octroi d’aides au logement. A noter : En cas d’accord, le premier mois de location est dit « mois de carence » : l’aide au logement n’est pas prise en compte et n’est donc pas versée lors du premier mois d’entrée dans les lieux

The rent and tourist tax are to be paid between the 1st and the 5th of each calendar month, directly at the reception desk or by bank transfer to the residence’s bank account.

The remainder of your security deposit will be refunded to you by bank transfer, to the bank account provided, 2 months after your departure (on average). This refund takes approximately 1 month when the inventory of fixtures carried out at the end of the rental period is compliant with that carried out at the beginning of the rental period. However, if damage, insufficient cleaning or over-consumption are noted upon your departure, the refund will take longer due to resulting deductions.

If you move in on a day other than the first of the calendar month, your rent will be prorated. You will only pay for the days you have stayed.

No, once you have moved in, it is up to you to clean the apartment. For your convenience, some residences provide hoovers, buckets and mops at reception. You are responsible for purchasing cleaning products. At an extra charge, the residence can also clean your apartment on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.

Of course, we schedule no open days, so you can make an appointment to visit us all year round!

Upon arrival, the residence provides a basic crockery set, which typically includes: plates, cutlery, glasses, cups, bowls, frying pan, saucepan with lid, colander and chopping board. Please note that if you damage any of these items, the corresponding value must be paid during your stay (or will be deducted from your security deposit upon departure).

Upon arrival, the residence provides the following, free of charge:
. 1 duvet ,
. 2 pillows
. 1 bed linen kit, which includes: 1 flat sheet, 1 duvet cover and 2 pillowcases
. 1 set of bath towels, which includes: 1 large towel, 1 hand towel and 1 bathmat.
Note that this linen will not be changed during your stay, and if these items are unusable on your departure they will be charged to you and deducted from your security deposit. Additional linen is available on request at an extra charge.

The application fee covers the cost of setting up and managing the rental application. This fee is cashed before your arrival in the establishment in order to guarantee your booking. It is non-refundable.

The residence will have approved a date and time for your arrival. They will ensure that you have all necessary documentation, and you will be required to pay the first month’s rent as well as the tourist tax. A staff member will then accompany you to the apartment in order to carry out an inventory of fixtures and read the electricity meter.

During your stay, you agree to regularly maintain the apartment and respect the rules of community life, as well as the establishment’s internal regulations. Please note that smoking is forbidden in all of our establishments. If necessary, the establishment’s staff are authorised to access your apartment for maintenance work and/or checks. You are required to pay your rent at the reception desk by the 5th of each month. Our on-site teams remain at your disposal for any further information!

Yes, it is possible to share in our apartments, as long as the aparthotel accepts the request.

Like hotels, our residences are considered tourist accommodation. Our clients must therefore pay tourist tax, which we immediately transfer to local authorities. The tourist tax is to be paid directly at the reception desk, at the same time as the rent, for each day you stay in the residence.

The security deposit is a sum equivalent to one month’s rent, excluding charges. It will be cashed before your arrival to guarantee your reservation. This sum will be kept for the duration of the rental period and will be refunded, in full or in part, upon your departure. A €65 departure cleaning fee and/or additional charges may be deducted, depending on your electricity consumption and the state of the apartment and its equipment, when the inventory of fixtures is carried out at the end of the rental period.

Upon your departure, the apartment must be left clean and tidy, in the same condition as when you arrived. An inventory of fixtures will be carried out with a staff member, and the electricity meter will be read. A studio cleaning fee of €65 will be automatically charged. This fee includes laundering, a technical inspection, and housekeeping services. Please note that damages or an insufficiently cleaned apartment will result in additional fees being deducted from your security deposit. Likewise, any excess electricity consumption, ascertained upon reading the meter, will be charged to you and deducted from your security deposit.

Please note that the application fee will be forfeited regardless of the reason and date of cancellation. Prior to arrival, all cancellation notices must be sent by email directly to the residence or to Appart’City in order to be considered. If the booking is cancelled more than 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival date, the deposit will be refunded in full within approximately 1 month. If the booking is cancelled less than 30 days before your scheduled arrival date, the security deposit will be retained by Appart’City. Once you have moved in, you may only cancel your booking by giving 30 days’ notice from the date of your cancellation request’s receipt. Rent will be due for this 30-day period. The remainder of your security deposit will be refunded to you within approximately 2 months (see previous section).

Our residences offer additional services at extra charge: carpark, housekeeping, breakfast, launderette, etc. You will find all available services on the aparthotel's page on our website: https://www.appartcity.com/en/.

The security deposit and the application fee must be paid by bank transfer. All other fees may be paid by bank transfer, valid credit card (Carte Bleue, Visa, Eurocard/Mastercard, American Express) or cash (within the regulatory limit). If you choose to pay in cash, a credit card guarantee may also be requested to secure the payment. Bank and postal cheques are not accepted.

No, pets are not allowed during a student stay.

A guarantor is a person (natural or legal) who undertakes to pay, if you are unable to meet your obligations. This guarantor must be solvent, that is to say, prove that he has sufficient income and is capable of taking on this responsibility. An average monthly income equal to or greater than 3 times the rent is often expected.
