Tenants’ Frequently Asked Questions

When you are ready to book a furnished apartment for rent, three options are available to you:

Can I rent a house by the week?

Unfortunately, the furnished apartments available for rent with Accès International are intended for rentals of a minimum of 6 months. We are specialized in medium to long term rentals ranging from 6 months to a few years.

However, you can occupy the apartment, the condo or the loft of your choice the number of weeks that suits your needs from the moment you agree to pay the basic monthly rent. In most cases, the overall price will still be lower than the cost of an upscale hotel. This is an interesting option to consider.
