Didier welcomed us personally to the apartment and showed us how everything worked before leaving (a real life-saver seeing as my parents and I had been having trouble figuring out french kitchen appliances in past apartments). The apartment is exactly as described - quiet, central, and sunny. It was a short walk to the center of town and we were able to easily travel much of Bordeaux on foot. There's a nice market in the park right next to the apartment, which was a great way for us to get a bit of local food to prepare for dinner. Beautifully decorated and just right for our stay.
