Lionel kept in touch before our arrival and told us how to get from the airport to the apartment using public transport. Corinne was at the apartment to greet us and make us feel welcome. The apartment was very clean, well appointed and spacious. It really does look like the photos. The rooms are large with wonderfully high arched ceilings. It is in a brilliant location: on a quiet street right in the centre of Bordeaux and close to a tram stop and the river. It is only a 10 minute walk to most of the attractions in Bordeaux, and a 2 minute walk to the tram. We took the tram to the station where it was easy to get a train to St Emilion. I would reccommend the apartment to anyone, and certainly will recommend it to my friends.
