Hosting an Airbnb in Paris means navigating the 120-night cap, the digicode at every door, and guests who want both MĂ©tro tips in their language and a list of boulangeries that are not on TikTok. A multilingual digital guide takes the pressure off the moment guests land at CDG â they scan a QR by the door, read welcome notes in French, English, Spanish, or Korean, and find a curated list of cafĂ©s, marchĂ©s, and arrondissement gems within a kilometre of your apartment.

Host tips for Paris
Five things experienced Paris hosts wish they'd written into their guide on day one.
- 1Always send the digicode (door code) the day of arrival, not at booking â it changes every few months and tired guests will mis-type the old one at the wrong door.
- 2Recycling in Paris is colour-coded: yellow bin for paper and plastic, white for glass, green for everything else. Pin the colours and pickup days into your guide, ideally with photos.
- 3Boulangeries close one day a week â and not all on Sunday. Mark the closing day of your two nearest bakeries; nothing ruins a Parisian morning like locked shutters.
- 4Tap water is excellent and free in any cafĂ© (carafe d'eau). Tell guests this â it saves them about âŹ4 every meal and is genuinely Parisian.
- 5If you self-clean between guests, build in 4 hours minimum. Paris turnovers are tight because of the 120-night cap, and rushed cleans are the #1 reason for sub-5-star reviews.

Frequently asked questions â Airbnb hosts in Paris
What is the 120-day rule for Airbnb in Paris?+
If the listing is your primary residence, you can rent it for a maximum of 120 nights per calendar year. Beyond that, you need a change-of-use authorisation from the Mairie de Paris, which is extremely hard to obtain.
Do I need to register my Airbnb with the City of Paris?+
Yes. Every short-term rental in Paris must obtain a registration number from the Mairie and display it on every listing. Airbnb auto-verifies the number, and the fine for non-compliance is up to âŹ50,000.
Should my Paris guidebook be in French only?+
No. The majority of Paris Airbnb guests come from outside France. Provide English and at least two of: Spanish, German, Italian, or Mandarin. QuickGuide auto-translates into seven languages from one source.
How do I handle keys for Airbnb guests in Paris?+
Two safe options: a Boks/Igloohome smart lockbox bolted to a wall in the building's interior courtyard, or a meet-and-greet via a local concierge service. Avoid key safes hanging on street-side railings â they get stolen monthly in the 18th and 19th arrondissements.
What's the tourist tax (taxe de séjour) for Paris Airbnb hosts?+
Airbnb collects the taxe de séjour automatically and remits it to the city. As a host you do not need to invoice guests separately, but you should mention in your guide that the tax is included in their booking.
