This is a wonderful, and well-located apartment, beautifully and tastefully decorated, well equipped (TV, DVD player, wi-fi, dishwasher, washing machine) and well-stocked—books, magazines, maps, DVDs, not to mention coffee, cooking oil, all kinds of condiments, and, best of all, some terrific plum jam made locally. We found the apartment quiet and comfortable and we especially enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony in the morning and coffee in the evening, looking out over a quiet street. Laurent is an exceptional host who gave us plenty of valuable information about the city and the local area—what to see, where to eat (Dan, Le Chien de Pavlov—both superb) and how to get the best value for money on the excellent public transport system. Staying in Laurent’s apartment certainly added to the pleasure of staying in Bordeaux and contributed greatly to what was a perfect holiday. Bordeaux’s restaurants, shops, museums, quais and parks are all easily accessible from the apartment. Most of the city’s highlights are easily within walking distance but there is a tram stop directly outside if you want to go further afield, or for that sad journey back to the airport. We would certainly stay in this apartment again and highly recommend it.
