The apartment is as described -- clean, spacious, safe and with a fantastic view! it is also well-stocked, and surprisingly room given the location. Great communication from the property owner and manager. As for the location -- couldn't be better. Right in the heart of Bordeaux, with easy access to sights and shopping. Just a few steps outside of the door, you can find great wine stores, restaurants, and a grocery store. Parking was a little bit of a challenge -- we just parked at one of the nearby lots. But really, one doesn't need a car, and we only used ours to go to Arcachon. We'd love to stay here next time we're in Bordeaux.
