Renting an apartment from across the world, site unseen, takes a good dose of faith. Can we ever be sure that websites and photos paint the whole picture? What if the room dimensions have been overstated...The outside traffic noise never lets up...The entryway is dark and smelly? We were so lucky with ours - but we've heard horror stories! Then I thought: maybe there is a service here that someone like moi could perform. I will check out Paris apartments. Corporations and universities have staff who do this for the people they send overseas, but what about vacationers, especially non French-speaking? One can cancel hotel nights if you're not happy. For a vacation rental, once you've arrived, it's darn near impossible, without forfitting your entire prepaid rent. The ideas germinated. I gathered information, read reviews and compared website hosting sites, visited apartments, and, the most time consuming part: mulling things over. What should the name be. Paris Check Out or CheckOut? Settled on Paris CheckOut. Then voila! I signed up at weebly.com and got the basics up and published in a day. Of course, I fiddle with it endlessly.
