need). There was a radio, CD player(our IPOD worked great) and TV. Every morning my husband would go to one of 3 bakeries within 2 blocks of the apt. and bring back baguettes and pastry while I made coffee. That's about all the "cooking" we did. But we also like to have a nice place to relax from about 5pm until 8pm when we go out for dinner. If there was any drawback to this apt. it was that there was some street noise in the morning. Didn't bother us at all, but it may bother some who like it really quiet. Take a look at their gorgeous pictures on their web site. We will definitely use their service again. REF Apartment : HIBISCUS From 2008-09-09 To 2008-09-17 Mr & Mrs Harrack From ONTARIO CANADA the 03/20/2009 Dear Philippe, Christophe -- et Thomas, bien sur! -- Just a quick note to thank you for your assistance and the truly wonderful accommodations Michael and I enjoyed last month in Paris. The service you provide is absolutely exceptional, and we have already recommended it to all our friends and colleagues. From the welcoming bouquet on the table to the exceptional limousine service to the restaurant suggestions -- all were as we would have offered to guests in our own home. Of course, the Ile Saint-Louis could not be better as a location from which to explore Paris. We hope to stay with you again for a longer stay! I hope you enjoyed
