“Guest Apartment Services offers a wonderful  selection of apartments, with fair pricing, and amazing support and services from a very responsive, friendly and helpful staff.

It offers the experience of having a home in the heart of old Paris.  Christophe Chastel, a founder and co-owner with Philippe Pée, is a knowledgeable guide to Paris, as well as France, and is a welcoming and gracious host.  We’ve rented from Guest Apartment Services for several years and would give them our highest recommendation for a memorable Paris experience.”   Larry Allen View more

M. Pee, Melanie, and the people of Guest Apartment Services: Thank you very much for your kind e-mail. We had a lovely time in ROSE; it was everything we had anticipated and more. Melanie and the staff took very good care of us. We enjoyed our stay so much that we would love to return next year at the same time. Thanks again for the use of the lovely apartment, and we look forward to seeing you all the next time we are in Paris! Best regards, Alex & Marlene  View more

Bonjour Melanie: Thank you for the email and information.   We were very pleased with the apartment and your company.  We appreciate all the care and attention you provided us during our stay.  We will definitely write a review and spread the word here about Guest Apartment Services. Best regards, Lois Berardi

I should actually be reviewing a specific apartment managed or owned by Guest Apartment Services Paris but I’ve decided that selfishly (I want this specific apartment just for my wife and myself!) I will say that after renting or staying at over ten of their apartments the one we just left after two unbelievable weeks was the best. That’s enough! What I want to say is that there are many services all over the world that rent out luxury apartments BUT what makes Guest Apartment Services stand out as the top of this category is the word “SERVICES”. We started renting from them when they first opened up MANY years ago. Here in a nutshell is why they are the best. This is not a hypothetical situation. My wife and I were staying in one of their gorgeous 17th century apartments on Ile St. Louis.  We were having a problem with the shower. A simple phone call to their office just a few blocks away got us someone who came over in less then 1/2/hr. and fixed the shower. This is not a one time experience. This is what Guest Apartment Services is noted for. If you happen to spend time in their beautiful office located on Ile St. Louis you will be greeted by anyone of at least five amazing people who will be able to answer any questions about apartments, restaurants, places to buy food and OH! just about all of their apartments have the most modern and up to date kitchen appliances.  Last but not least, we live on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Approximately 7,500 miles from France.  On August 24th 2019 we will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Where do you think we will be staying? In the Rose Apartment where we just left after two awesome weeks. This is a testimonial of why anyone who wants the best out of the greatest city in the world should use Guest Apartment Services of Paris.  View more

We had a wonderful stay at The Rose apartment and of course Paris. We hope to vacation in Paris in the next few years and would be delighted to stay in one of your properties. Many thanks for your hospitality!   Bill and Jane Fader

My husband and I had the most wonderful time in Paris and we truly loved our stay at Rose. The apartment was perfect for the two of us! Your service was equally wonderful. The apartment was immaculate and well furnished....and whenever we had a question or needed advice Christophe provided excellent customer service. We are hoping to return to Paris in September with friends and your office was very helpful in showing us other apartments that we are considering when we return. As soon as we confirm dates with the 2 other couples we will be in touch to make a reservation. We look forward to seeing you in September to continue the French Art of living!!

We have had a wonderful week staying at Rose, and wanted to thank you for the excellent accommodation and service that you provide. This was our second time staying with you, and both times we have enjoyed our stay in the great accommodation that you provide on Ile St Louis. Thanking you for what has again been a wonderful stay in Paris. Best regards, Phil and Genevieve Robertson View more

When my wife and I rented with Guest Apartment Services, we didn't know what to expect. Would the process of finding the apartment, checking in, using the facilities, and the French language involve hassles and issues?  Would there be a culture clash?  Also, how would the apartment compare to local hotel rooms which we were familiar with. Would it offer good value for our money? From the driver picking us up at the airport until he returned us there, the everything was simple and easy. The friendly, helpful staff at Guest Apartment Services, all of whom speak excellent English, made everything work seamlessly.  Our place on the Island of Saint Louis was exactly as advertised, comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped with a terrific view of the Seine River from our balcony. Every question was answered quickly and completely. Our only unmet desire was to stay longer.  We are convinced that for visits to the City of Lights this service beats a similarly priced, typical Parisian hotel room hands down. We will return soon.

We are home in Australia now (in 42 degree heat!!!) and wanted to thank you all so much for a wonderful stay in the Rose apartment. Everything was perfect. We could not have wished for anything better. Except perhaps, staying longer. We will return. That is for sure. Thank you all and best wishes for Christmas. View more

Our stay was especially good. The apartment is very nice, certainly no disappointment there! Your company was so nice to deal with; which we do not take for granted having dealt with several (plus vrbo). We almost always had good luck, but it was generally a bit of a leap of faith! We definitely feel that Guest Services is a company that is reliable, so you will be hearing from us in the future! Also, we had been on Ile de St. Louis for the shops and restaurants, but never stayed there. The "continent" will not be our first choice when planning the next trip! Marie was extremely helpful solving our wi-if situation. She was certainly willing to go the distance. She is a real asset to your company, and is a personable young woman. Also, thank you for the lys keychain. What a thoughtful gift. Please let us know about our left-behind item. I suppose we were tired after several full days spent on having such a good holiday! Kind Regards, Cathy Nebeker View more

Dear Philippe & Christophe, Our stay in Paris was magical, and the apartment exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you to you and your staff for providing us with such a beautiful balcony, breathtaking views, comfortable gracious surroundings, splendid weather, and nightly entertainment across the river! What a marvelous vacation! Thank you again for a lovely stay, and we look forward to coming back, preferably sooner than later! Sincerely, Minou. View more

Bonjour Philippe et Christophe, We received your e-mail about the apartment and appreciate your providing it so quickly. We want to thank you for allowing us the use of the Rose property this last week. It was exactly as advertised, in a perfect location (but you knew that) and a delightful pied a terre from which to revisit Paris. The ambiance of the apartment was only heightened by the courtesy the two of you and Thomas extended. It made the week so carefree that we could devote our time to Paris. Your suggestion about dining in Barbizon and going on to Vaux le Vicomte was simply another wonderful part of our trip. When you next see Vincent, please thank him once again for us. On our return to Paris (hopefully next year) we'll contact you as a first order of business. We hope you have a pleasant and prosperous year. Nan and George van Setter View more

BonJour Thomas and Philippe, My husband Harry and I rented apartment #5 on Quai Anjou on September 6th through September 13th. We had a wonderful experience. We loved the apartment and the location. We appreciated your excellent service to us and we would like to rent with your company again. Is it possible to reserve #5 Quai Anjou for next year at the same time? We would be happy to send you a deposit. Please let us know if this is possible. I will look forward to your reply. View more

Bonjour Christophe and Philippe: We both want to thank you for taking such good care of us while we were in "Rose"! We thoroughly enjoyed the charming accomodations as well as all of your assistance, most importantly my last minute transportation requests! Rest assured we will be in touch on our next trip to Paris! Sincerely, Jim and Teresa Deane View more

Just got back from a weeks stay. Took the train from Brussels to Paris. Very easy. Luggage storage above the seats is good for carryon size luggage. Bigger bags have to be left by the doors. Stayed on the Ile St. Louis in a loft apartment right on the Seine. It was wonderful and quiet. Can't say enough about Phillipe and Christopher who run www.guestapartment.com. The apartment was spotlessly clean and exactly as the photos show. Several older folk live in the building and were very friendly. We used their transport service which was very nice from the train station. and then to the airport. After reading endless stories about apartments with no towels, dirty, and problems we were so surprised when we walked in the door. Spotlessly clean, lots of towels, toilet paper, and everything else you would want. On the dining room table a huge bouquet of fresh flowers. Their office was a block from the apartment and were more than willing to help with anything you needed or questions. Like having your own travel agency right there. They both speak perfect English. Photos on their web site are totally accurate. What we enjoyed. River rides on the Seine. We did it once at night and once during the day. It was beautiful and fun. Spent a day at the Lourve. Should really be broken up in two days. Too much to see in one day. You feel dizzy when you leave. Was disappointed the Mona Lisa was behind glass. Between the glass, rope around it, and the crowds you could hardly see it. Used Paris Tours for a day trip to Versailles. Not to be missed. The Hall of MIrrors was breathtaking. I got goose bumps when I walked into that room. I would have to say the Versailles tour was the best part of my trip. Spent hours walking around looking at the sites and so much history. Shoppers can shop till you drop. Paris is big but really a walking city. The metro is easy to use and a good way to get around. I found the French to be friendly if approached in the right manner. I think speaking French would greatly enhance vacationing here. We don't but got by. A friendly Bon Jour goes along way. TRIP ADVISOR FORUM WEBSITE REPORT:  View more

Have just recently returned from our third summer trip to Paris, France, our very favourite city in the world! Once again, we stayed in a charming apartment on the Ile St. Louis, smack dab in the middle of the Seine and in the middle of this beautiful city, within five minutes of Notre Dame and within incredibly scenic walking distance of the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, the Latin Quarter, St. Germain des Pres, the Marais, the Picasso Museum, the Pompidou Center, Pantheon, Hotel de Ville, the Conciergerie, St. Chapelle, and so much more. I HIGHLY recommend that, to get the most out of your time in this gorgeous city, you consider renting an apartment and checking out the charming island of St. Louis for your stay. While not "bargain basement" prices (you'll pay what you'd pay to stay in a top-notch hotel), the old adage "you get what you pay for" surely holds true here. Before I continue, a quick word: I am an infrequent poster. I guess because of this, and because my first post sung the praises of Guest Apartment Services, from whom we rented our apartment, there were questions in later postings as to whether or not I had been hired by this service to "advertise" for them. NOT TRUE. As I've said in the past, we are always quick to get the negatives out there to warn people off; shouldn't we be just as ready to let others know when service goes above and beyond -- and thus give credit where credit is due? I think so, and this is why I am taking the time to let others know. Read up on the Ile St. Louis -- charm, quiet, and atmosphere that truly cannot be described adequately, but must be experienced. Add to this a wonderful apartment and the time, care, and consideration given by Philippe Pee and Christophe Chastel of Guest Apartment Services when you rent one of their apartments, and your equation adds up to an unforgettable vacation. Our apartment was quiet, comfortable, elegant, and, best of all, included a small, flower-lined private terrace overlooking the Seine on Quai d'Anjou. Views of the river from every floor-to-ceiling window in this quaint apartment (in a 1640 building with private entrance through an iron gate and cobblestone courtyard) PLUS the first sight you see when you sit up in bed in the tiny but comfy loft bedroom ... what more can you ask? Fully equipped kitchen, with diswasher, washer/dryer, microwave, one and one-half baths ... and atmosphere at its best for late-morning-on-the-terrace coffee and croissants and for relaxed lunches and dinners of baguettes, cheese, olives, fruit, and wine. Christophe and Philiippe take care of everything -- fresh flowers and Evian upon your arrival, IMMEDIATE handling of any problem that might crop up, and pleasant service for almost anything. Their driver service picks you up at the airport and delivers you and your baggage directly to your apartment and then reverses the procedure upon your return home. Philippe and Christophe take care of reservations -- we used them to book the high-speed train for a day trip to the city of Dijon and for an afternoon/evening trip (via private driver) to the candlelight tour of Vaux le Vicomte with a dinner stop, for which they also made reservations, in the charming village of Barbizon. These trips were recommendations of Phillippe's and Christophe's, and were well worth our time to complete. I can even thank Philippe for his "whirlwind" wine tutorial -- buy a red Burgundy wine from the year 2003! We have come to feel that these two are friends; we cannot say enough about their attentiveness to their clients. They worked hard to help us deal with British Airways, who did not send our luggage on to Paris from Heathrow until the eleventh and twelfth days of our fourteen-day stay -- thank you, British Air! Without their help, getting the bags delivered correctly would have been difficult, as our French can't hold a candle to theirs! As I said, they will come to your assistance for WHATEVER is needed. With this being our third summer in the city, we spent much more time exploring, via walking, this gorgeous city and taking our time merely breathing in atmosphere -- didn't feel the need to rush from one major attraction to the next. I think this is one of the advantages to revisiting a favorite destination, as we have done twice, now. Some of our favorite "new" experiences this summer were the Picasso Museum, near the Bastille, and the Salvadore Dali museum (in Montmartre). We enjoyed many lovely wine-and/or-coffee evenings at the small cafes at the end of Ile St. Louis and wonderful dinners at the tiny Le Relais de L'Isle, complete with live piano music, on the main street of Ile St. Louis. Enjoy a crepe at the "take-out" window (my favorite was fromage, jambon, et l'oignon) and the always too-good-to-be-true, world-famous Berthillon ice cream and sorbet (try the melon sorbet; it is unbelievable). Mainly, spend many hours just soaking up the charm of this petite island, where you'll feel you've stepped back into the past. If you can, rent an apartment from Philippe and Christophe that overlook the Seine; your visual memories will last you a lifetime. Once again, please don't be skeptical -- I am NOT a "for-hire" poster for Guest Apartment Services -- go to their website -- www.guestapartment.com -- and look at some of their apartments yourself. Ours was "ROSE," and I can tell you that the photos are accurate; you won't arrive and find something that doesn't resemble what you thought you were going to see! We feel very lucky that we serendipitously "found" Philippe and Christophe for our first stay; we'll never use anyone else, and we would not even consider staying anywhere else in Paris but on the Ile St. Louis. If you go, you'll understand why. Please post and let me know if you look into this and also if you give it a try. While we have plans to visit Turkey next summer, I can guarantee you that we will return to Paris and to Guest Apartment Services in the future. They have been the "gold standard" for all of our vacations thus far, and I suspect they will remain so. Happy Paris vacationing! We hope you will enjoy this lovely city as much as we have. Trip Report taken from the famous Forum website: www.tripadvisor.com  View more

Bonjour, Thank you for informing us We had a delightful stay in Paris and definitely would use your service again. The apartment was quite comfortable and very quiet. Sincerely, Kathleen and Ross Solaro

Our first time posting, but 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 that one has Philippe and Christophe to act as concierge services, and one cannot ask for more. For two summers in a row we have stayed on Quai d'Anjou, bordering the Right Bank, with a magnificent view over the Seine. The building we stayed in was built in the 1640s and features an iron gate leading into a small, charming courtyard from which one enters the building. Our apartment last year was a charming studio (our son and girlfriend stayed there this year) which we loved, equipped with washer/dryer, microwave, and so on -- and atmosphere galore. Our apartment this year (we needed more room as we had a friend traveling with us who slept on a very comfy sleeper sofa) was a floor above the studio, with a loft bedroom, dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, and, best of all, an intimate, flower-box-bordered terrace from which to enjoy a glass of wine, beer, or cocktails -- with a view of the Seine to die for. A gorgeous arrangement of fresh flowers and comfy terrycloth robes awaited us on our arrival. For the price of a good or very good hotel, an apartment through Guest Apartment Services on the Ile St. Louis provided us with the independence of our "own" residence in a section of the city that, truly, cannot be equaled for charm and atmosphere. We could walk to wonderful bakeries, cheese shops, spirit shops, cafes -- and enjoy bread, cheese, and wine in our own home away from home when the mood struck us. After busy days of walking, touring, and enjoying the hustle-bustle of this marvelous city, we always breathed a contented sigh when we crossed the bridge to Ile St. Louis. We are planning next year's trip back to Paris already and cannot wait to revisit our "Paris home away from home"! Give this service and Ile St. Louis a try; we tell everyone who's thinking of a trip to Paris about them!
