My wife and I could not have asked for a better place to stay. Antoine's apartment, located in the heart of Bordeaux, exceeded all of our expectations. (And our expectations were high -- this was our honeymoon, after all!)

Antoine remained in close contact leading up to and throughout our stay, including walking us through an in-depth list of recommendations -- things to see, do, eat and drink -- when we arrived in Bordeaux. He literally highlighted a map of the city!

The apartment was beautiful by any standard. (If, like me, you're from the States, you need to stay in an apartment with exposed limestone and tall ceilings. Trust me on this one.) Plus, the apartment had every amenity of a true "home" -- espresso machine, washing machine, dishwasher and, most importantly, nice wine glasses. My wife, in particular, appreciated the eclectic book and magazine collection.

Antoine's apartment defined our stay in Bordeaux. We'll be back.
