The southern part of the 9th arrondissement is a district that works, shops and goes out at night. Around the Palais Garnier and boulevard Haussmann, offices sit alongside department stores, concert halls and residential buildings. A flat rented here benefits from that mix: it fills up on weekdays with business travellers and at weekends with visitors who come for a performance or a day of shopping.
Boulevard Haussmann and its surroundings
The district is organised around a few streets guests know before they even arrive: boulevard Haussmann with the facades of the Galeries Lafayette and the Printemps, rue de la Chaussée-d’Antin climbing towards the church of La Trinité, and rue Scribe and rue Auber leading to the Palais Garnier. Set back from these main roads, quieter streets hold Haussmann-era buildings where law firms, company head offices and homes share the same staircase.
Flats here are typical of the second half of the 19th century: continuous balconies, high ceilings, herringbone parquet, marble fireplaces. They are often in mixed-use buildings, with offices on the lower floors and homes above. That layout has its own particularities, which we take into account from the first visit to your property.
Busy guests, varied stays
Guests in this district come in two kinds. On weekdays, consultants, executives on the move and trade fair visitors look for a place close to their meetings, with good wifi and a desk. At weekends and during school holidays, families, couples and opera or ballet lovers take over. The sales periods and the weeks before Christmas, when the department store windows are decorated, also bring many visitors.
Getting there is easy: RER A at Auber, RER E at Haussmann – Saint-Lazare, the metro at Opéra, Chaussée d’Antin – La Fayette or Havre – Caumartin, and line 14 at Saint-Lazare, right next door, to reach Orly.
Our support around the Opéra
Laura and Hannah’s team focuses on what these guests look at first: easy arrival and good equipment. Arrivals and departures are timed around your constraints, including late-afternoon arrivals after a meeting. The digital welcome book explains building access, the wifi and the best local addresses. Between stays, cleaning and fresh linen put the flat back in order, and prices follow the calendar of trade fairs, shows and sales through dynamic pricing.
You receive a report after every stay and keep control of your calendar.
Mixed-use buildings: offices, caretakers and timing
In a building where companies work, comings and goings are noticed. We adapt arrival times, explain to guests how to use the entrance and the lift, and keep the caretaker informed when the building has one. Two sets of rules frame your project: your building’s internal regulations and the Paris rules on furnished tourist rentals. We read them through with you before opening the calendar.
Is your flat further up the slopes, towards place Saint-Georges? See Nouvelle Athènes – Saint-Georges. Near rue des Martyrs? Read Rue des Martyrs – SoPi. The owners page describes our full offer; to write to us, use the contact page.
Frequently asked questions
My flat is in an office building. Can I rent it short term?
It all depends on what your building allows and on the Paris regulations. We look at these points with you before anything goes online, then adapt the welcome to the life of the building.
Do you host business travellers?
Yes. For them, we highlight the wifi, the workspace and the nearby transport in the listing.
Do prices change during the sales or the holidays?
Yes. Dynamic pricing adjusts prices to the season, local events and demand.
Who prepares the flat between two guests?
Our local team handles cleaning, linen and a check before every arrival.
