Place was really nice. Great location and very clean. I wouldn’t recommend it if you have young kids as there are so many ornaments etc. at child height.
On arrival, Nathalie gave a tour which was very useful. It came across that Nathalie was nervous about us staying in her place. Very strict rules on what we could and couldn’t do. We felt very conscious during our stay that we were staying in her home.
There was a lift which you need to get to the 7th floor. Lift was narrow which meant you couldn’t fit a double buggy. We had to collapse which was a bit of a pain.
The place was spacious and had everything we needed apart from a baby cot which was asked for before arrival. It felt like Nathalie forgot about it.
The apartment was beautifully decorated and the balcony was lovely (Be careful with the kids on the balcony). Nathalie has a great eye for decor - every room, including the balcony, was beautifully done with lots of lovely touches. It felt like a lovely home to stay in.
The beds and pillows were really comfy and the whole place was spotlessly clean.
We were there during hot weather so the lack of air con was difficult. The apartment was very hot and we could have done with extra fans, especially to help us sleep.
During our stay we had a great time. Location was great if you wanted to get into Bordeaux. There was a tram station which was a 5-minute walk away. Trams are regular.
We received a message from Nathalie asking what time we would be leaving her place. I mentioned that it would be 12:00 as per check-out time on the Airbnb app. At 11:50 Nathalie was waiting at the door. We felt really rushed.
Once we left we noticed we forgot an item. Nathalie sent her daughter down with the item. Nathalie then sent me a picture of a toilet brush which she claimed we snapped. None of my party claimed to have used the brush. She charged us €10 which I thought was quite expensive for a toilet brush we didn’t use.
