We really enjoyed our stay in Boris’ apartment.
Samantha was very nice and gave us some good leads were to go in Bordeaux!
The apartment was very clean and furnished with good taste. Beautiful and very stylish! The kitchen was equipped nicely. We did not miss a thing.
The apartment is well located, close to the heart of the city. There are bars, restaurants and a great bakery just around the corner and the city center with more restaurants, bars and shops is in short walking distance, which is great.
Although, it can get quite noisy at night, not only during the weekend. As it was quite hot while we were there, we left the windows open at night (the apartment has no air conditioning), which was a bit annoying with all the noise, but all in all it was really okay and bearable.
Some previous guests mentioned that they had witnessed some strange drug scenes in the area around the appartment. Well, we have as well, but it did not bother us too much. At first we were a bit worried and felt a little uncomfortable, but never encountered any dangerous situations or else. After a while, we felt quite safe and no longer uncomfortable. Though, we would still not hang around too long near the quays at night.
We took a rental car during our stay as we wanted to explore the sea side as well. Parking in the city is pretty expensive and available parking lots are limited. If you are just staying in Bordeaux, we recommend not to rent a car as you can walk or use public transportation instead at much lower costs and with less stress ;-) Samantha recommended us the same.
The convertible sofa/bed makes sence due to the limited space, but could be a little comfier. We never used it as a sofa during our entire stay and would rather prefer a real bed and renounce the option of a sofa, but this is just our liking.
All in all we had a great time in Bordeaux and would definitely come back and very much recommend this place!
Thank you Boris and Samantha for having us and for your great hospitality! :-)
