Nadege is a wonderful hostess. She waited for me upon my arrival, introduced me to her friends at the local restaurant, was a great source for all information regarding Bordeaux and its environs, and has a beautiful place.
The neighborhood is perfectly safe even at the late hours and a perfect spot to hop onto a tram, a bus line, or for a walk along the quay. There are grocery stores (Carrefour City) nearby, plus a couple of fantastic boulangeries, including one whose oven dates back to the mid-1700s. There are plenty of places to eat and nooks to explore, and it is all very accessible.
Nadege is a wonderful hostess and has set up her apartment for short to mid-length stays. The kitchen has a range of spices and teas and dry goods, along with all the tools you need to prepare a dinner on the stove, in an oven, or even a microwave. She has maps of the city as well as of the public transportation system available, along with information on the bike share program and brochures of places in and around the region to visit. The apartment is clean and comfortable, with a standing fan as well as an indoor ventilation system. As I arrived during the hottest heat wave in a while, she gave me all the pointers necessary to keep the apartment cool (AC isn't very common in apartments in this region.) Little touches such as water in the fridge and check-ins via WhatsApp to see how things were going made all the difference.
This is a fantastic flat and I cannot wait to come back to visit again. Merci Nadege pour votre generosite et gentilesse!
