Antoine's place is beautiful! It has been renovated with care, preserving all the charms of old French apartments with modern conveniences. The kitchen is well appointed and I cooked two meals during our three day stay. The shower is large and the water pressure is great. The apartment is next to the oldest street in Bordeaux, dating back to the 13th century. Antoine's cousin checked us in and provided info on how to easily get around the city on foot or by tram, where we could find the "best" of everything, and how to use the Bordeaux visitor's guide to find the iconographic photo opportunities. He also did the unbelievable: he found us a parking spot up the street from the apartment! Everything is walkable in the old city and only the wine museum was far enough away to coax us onto the tram. Bordeaux's tram system is very easy to navigate. Antoine left us a bottle of a fabulous regional wine. We loved our stay here in this beautiful apartment and highly recommend Antoine as a host.
