We have just returned from an amazing week in Bordeaux - made particularly special by this wonderful apartment.

It is perfectly situated in the historic part of town with a small, but very well stocked, Carrefour across the street, an endless choice of lovely, typical French bars, restaurants, cafes and shops within a walking distance. We didn't need to take public transport once, it's all on your doorstep.

The apartment itself is lovely, stylish and very well set up. Wifi, Xbox, Plasma TV (that will take laptop through HDMI). The beds are very comfortable and the balcony lovely for breakfast in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone, in fact, I intend to return next year for a friend's wedding.

Crystel and Loic were very helpful and the whole stay was very easy.

Other (possibly) important info.... the taxi from the airport was c. Euro 35 and took about half an hour. Ask for Place du Palais/ Rue Des Argentiers. The apartment is on the corner.

But most important of all, make time for a glass of red wine at Chez Fred on the square, a more quintessential French spot you will not find.
