We enjoyed our stay with JP in the heart of Bordeaux. The room is nice and big as was the bathroom (you share with JP). JP is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the surrounding quartier.

Be prepared for the 4 flights of stairs - make sure you don't have a heavy suitcase - but by the end of our 3 days, we were used to them and it was part of of our exercise regime along with the Bordeaux V CUB bikes.

There are several small supermarkets nearby - and JP allowed us to store our yoghurts and fruit juice in his fridge, so we did our own brekfasts. We didn't cook though as there are also lots of places to eat. You can also picnic on the revamped quays area alongside the river.

It was a very nice place to stay, and we would go again.

Hint: if you are taking a car, leave it at in the street on one of the stations along Tramway route A to the east of the river around Galin. The apartment is abt 2 mins fm the St Catherine stop on the same route.
