    NEWPORT BEACH, CA, June 10, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cobblestay.com, an online travel service enabling North Americans to discover and book vacation rentals in Paris, France, has added four new fully furnished apartments to its rental portfolio with plans to secure 15 additional apartments by the end of summer. The privately-owned apartments available to book on Cobblestay.com are ideal for families, couples and business travelers seeking an insider's experience as an alternative to the traditional Paris hotel room.

"The years I spent living and working in Paris helped me to identify the specific challenges faced by North American travelers," said Drew Graham, Founder and CEO of CobbleStay.com. "We offer a solution for travelers searching for more than simply a place to sleep. We offer our guests freedom and intimacy not found within the traditional hotel experience, as well as an effective opportunity for the growing demand of investment property owners to improve their financial return serving North American travelers."

The four new short-term rental apartments in Paris feature a variety of unique amenities including private outdoor spaces and Eiffel Tower views.

1.) Left Bank Penthouse - CobbleStay #18: Across the street from the Val de Grace and just minutes away from the Luxembourg Gardens, this remodeled penthouse features a striking 20-foot window and a private outdoor terrace spanning the length of the property with a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. The one bedroom, one and a half bath furnished apartment includes an upstairs loft with an additional sleeping area. The apartment is newly renovated with central air conditioning, elevator access, an American-style kitchen and hardwood floors.

2.) Roof Top Townhouse - CobbleStay #26: Located halfway between Arc de Triumph and Trocadero, this luxury one bedroom, one bath townhouse is in the heart of the Right Bank shopping and museum district. An elevator takes visitors to the sixth floor apartment that features central air conditioning, two private outdoor terraces with two breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and Paris skyline.

3.) Villa in the Marais - CobbleStay #25: This enchanting private villa is centrally-located in the chic Marais district, on the Rue des Francs-Bourgeois. The courtyard entrance and 1,400-square-foot private garden offer a luxurious setting that is distinctly Parisian and ideal for adult families looking for togetherness and privacy. The three and a half bedroom, three and half bath two-story luxury residence includes two air conditioning units and is within walking distance of nearby open-air markets in the center of the Marais.

4.) Private Terrace Amelot - CobbleStay #12: Accessed via a private cobblestone courtyard, this bright and newly renovated apartment offers high value for couples, business travelers and parents with young children.
