Frequently asked questions
A Guest is a student, a trainee, a professional… who needs accommodation in Paris for at least 1 month and without time limit. Our Guests come from France and elsewhere and speak all languages. They come for different reasons but with only one thing in common: to live Paris from the inside and enjoy all the advantages of accommodation in a private home: comfort at low prices, advice and good tips, contact with the locals.
A Host is a person who welcomes a Guest to his house or apartment for a short, medium or long time. A private room is available, with all the necessary equipment. Depending on the Host, different options may be available. An essential principle unites them: they all want to welcome a Guest and accompany them in the success of their stay.
A Partner is a school, university, agency, company or other organization with accommodation needs. We offer tailor-made contracts, which can be adapted to any need, any desire and we offer our Partners discounts and other benefits.
All our Hosts are rigorously selected according to a set of criteria relating both to the accommodation (location, comfort, equipment, cleanliness, etc.) and to the desire and the capacity of welcome. We visit each accommodation and meet each host. In order to guarantee the quality of our offer, we maintain regular contact with them.
For more information, please consult our quality charter.
Be my nest allows Hosts to offer a wide range of accommodation in private homes. Each accommodation offers one or more rooms, with private or shared bathrooms. We take care of all requests, so that each Guest can find their ideal Host.
We offer a fully secure payment system through Société Générale, our banking partner, so you can be sure that your orders are processed securely. We protect all personal information you provide to us on a secure server.
The safety of our Hosts and Guests is our first priority. The profile of each Host is checked before being put online. The Be my nest team checks in person the accommodations referenced on the website www.bemynest.com In order to enhance security, the Host’s announcement will only indicate his first name and will not provide any postal address. Les Guests will receive the address and contact details of the Host once the reservation has been confirmed.
The identity and profile of the Guest are also verified when requesting accommodation.
The creation of your account will allow you to have a first contact with the Be my nest team who will then be able to take care of your request.
