Hello xxxxxxxx,


The monthly rent is Eur 650 including utilities (water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking).
Here is located my flat:10 Rue Constance, Paris . France
For how long you want to rent the apartment?
How many people will be living in the apartment?
You work in Paris? Or are you looking for a job?
I'm asking you these questions because I would like to know more about the person who will be living in my apartment.
I'm looking for someone to live in my apartment because I moved in Sweden with my family.
Unfortunately, the apartment is not available for viewing because I was already in Sweden when I decided to rent out the apartment.
I decided to use the services of AIRBNB.

Thank you

Hi again,

Thank you for quickly reply.
My complet name is : Evelina Helgesson, 42 years old.
This is my personal phone number : 0046851972655
I work for a company from Stockholm, Sweden ( IKEA Kungens Kurva )
Let me explain how the transaction will go, step by step: Airbnb charge some fees for services that they offer, to avoid taxes we reserve the apartment only for 2 months through their system + security deposit ( this security deposit you will get Back after you will leave my flat ). After you see the apartment we make the lease agreement for the period that you want.
Airbnb provides an online platform that connects hosts who have accommodations to rent with guests seeking to rent such accommodations.
In order to book the apartment, you will have to make the payment to Airbnb with your credit card. Airbnb will hold your payment until you have received the keys and contract and you have seen the apartment. After seeing the apartment, you will have to make your decision, if you wish to take it or not. I will receive the money only after you have seen the apartment and decided to take it.
If the apartment is not as i have presented it, you have the right to refuse it. Airbnb will return your money to your account in 12 hours from your decision.
After this 2 months, the next rent payments will be done directly to my personal bank account.
I need to know Start date (when you want to move in the apartment): day / month / year
If everything sounds good to you, please send me your full name,address and phone number and i will send you the Link AIRBNB were you can BOOK:

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks for your time!
Best.
