Stephanie's apartment was in a fantastic location. It's really easy to get to from the station, the shuttle bus from the airport takes 30 minutes and takes you directly to the main train station. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from Gare St Jean and close to all the main sites in Bordeaux. She gave us brilliant local recommendations and tips for seeing Bordeaux. It was lovely being right on the river, the noise from the street didn't bother us at all. The only thing I would mention is the amount of mosquitoes in the apartment - possibly due to it being near the water, my boyfriend and I were bitten all over our arms, legs and even face many times during a 4 day stay. Other than that we had a very comfortable stay here and would highly recommend.
