Love love love this apartment! We Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bordeaux. It's clean, comfortable, well decorated and maintained. We were greeted by Myriam and her dad who were so welcoming and helpful. She left a bottle of wine and some local cakes for us which were delicious and so thoughtful. Her dad even helped us get a parking spot right in front of the apartment.
The apartment is spacious and has has a good vibe. We didn't want to leave it on the first day! It's quite central and in walking distance to everything. The tourist office and other touristy stuff are about 15mins walk, but there are local bars and cafes that are closer, only a 5min walk away at the end of the street. The area is littered with small quirky and trendy shops in a labyrinth of alleyways. We are from Melbourne, Australia, so it reminded us of home.
Myriam has a café nearby called Palo Alto, about 10mins walk, near the water, we tried to visit her on our last day but it was a Sunday and was closed. From the Facebook pics it looks really trendy (like her apartment) and the food was highly rated, so we're disappointed we couldn't try it. Maybe next time.
Overall, this apartment made our visit to Bordeaux even more awesome! Thanks Myriam (and thanks to your dad too).
