Maybe the best part of getting apartment accomodations in Paris is having neighbors. Some Paris apartment vacation rentals are in "apartment hotels" which consist only of apartments that are used to rent to tourists.
But there are also Paris apartment rentals that are in buildings used by everyday Parisians. The agency rents out the one apartment in a building full of people who live there year round. There may be no more authentic accomodations in Paris.
Accomodations in Paris With Other Vacationers
This isn't to say that you won't have an authentic or enlightening experience in a apartment hotel. In a hotel situation your apartment may be next to people vacationing from Denmark, Japan, anywhere in the world. So you will have a truly international experience.
If you are interested in getting a thoroughly French experience on your Paris vacation, then seek out a single unit apartment rental rather than an apartment hotel. Your neighbors will be used to new tenants coming in and out and they may be very hospitable and helpful.
