Folks,

Thought I would seek advice from the community on trying to find a nice short term (week or less) apartment rental in Paris, France.

I would like to stay in center city (1e to 8e).  Tried most of the easily findable websites and most decent units are booked (I'm going soon).  Looking for a more Parisienne experience - buy baguettes around the corner, eat at a cafe, shop a little (the SO), drink a lot of Vin, etc.  will also play tourist since it is my first visit to the city of light.

Anybody have a special little place may be off the beaten path (at least not directly on the infomation superhighway)?  Would appreciate your help.

thanks - Silk (b/c if you need to)

p.s. - Incidentally, there is a british outfit called yourstay.com that is a rip off and scam (bait and switch) specialist in the vacation rentals business.  I almost booked with them, but was suspicious and checked around the net - sure enough, my gut was right, yourstay.com is bogus.
