Experience the life of a true Parisian
"THANKS to the services provided by a company called Paris Sleeps, my recent visit to Paris became an experience rather than just another trip. Paris Sleeps offers apartments as an alternative to the sterile environment of high-priced hotels. In doing so, a visitor is able to live the life of a true Parisian. My one-bedroom apartment was in the heart of the Latin Quarter (5th arrondissement)."
Apartments start at $1,000 per week, double occupancy (singles $900).

No TV or phone, just relaxation
"MY husband, Joe, and I recently visited Antigua and Barbuda. While on Antigua, we stayed at Long Bay Hotel. This small hotel is family-run and very laid-back. The rooms are large and do not have a TV or a phone, making it a very relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast and dinner are included in the price."
Doubles start at $267 a night.
