Finding a rental property in Paris can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

For this week's podcast episode, you'll hear about how gruelling the whole affair can be from the perspective of a man who had his own tricky journey, Australian entrepreneur Mitch Pascoe.

He sent in 150 applications and was once asked for three years' rent up front before he finally secured a home.
