wanted to sing the praises of "Guest Apartment Services Paris" to anyone looking for absolutely wonderful accommodations on their first or next trip to Paris. We have just spent our second summer renting from this wonderful service and cannot say enough about everything associated with them. First of all, Philippe Pee and Christophe Chastel, who run Guest Apartment Services, go above and beyond whenever needed. This past June/July, we needed somewhat last-minute accommodations for our traveling son and his girlfriend who decided to spend five days with us. Philippe and Christophe arranged an apartment for them on very short notice, and even kept us posted when an apartment in our very same building became available that they could switch to. They are prompt, reliable, and accurate correspondents, and e-mails were always answered promptly. Guest Apartment Services has quite a few apartments on what we consider to be the very best place to stay in Paris -- the Ile St. Louis, nestled right in the middle of the Seine between Marais on the Right Bank and St. Germain des Pres on the Left Bank and, literally, a five-minute walk to Notre Dame on the Ile de la Cite. It is a tiny, elegant, quiet, charming spot that is in the heart of the city and convenient to metro stops and major sights, but yet gives one the impression that time has stood still. The architecture, the history, the atmosphere, the shops, the restaurants -- all wonderful. Add to this the fact
