Please help us to a few observations.

How can I find an apartment for rent in Paris, France, near the Louvre, in a safe area that is quiet, fully furnished, and a reasonable size for myself and my mom at a great price per week?

I saw the following given as part of an answer to another question

“A three bedroom apartment in Tokyo can range from 950? to 52,500 ? (that’s for a sweet 1 bedroom apt in Asakusa district). So, take the rent times 12, rent can range from 11,400? to 630,000?/year.”

Is this really so? Has anyone ever rented one of these places or know where I can find about them?

950yen/month is really cheap. I’d be more that willing to pay 10 times that much for a 3 bedroom apartment in Tokyo and it doesn’t have to be in Asakusa.

Really? It seem too good to be true. But, then why would that person say something like that? She says she’s fluent in Japanese and has a Japanese husband. Why would she make up something like 950yen/month?

which areas should two girls hoping to stay and work in paris for 3 months live? which areas should we avoid(which arrondisements)? would living in areas such as st denis or levallois feel like living in paris? is 900 euros per month enough for rent?
just a note.. we can speak french and are looking into visas already

I am wanting to move to NYC but I need an apartment. Do you know how much they cost, where the cheapest place to get one is, and a website to find listings? Thanks.
