My partner & I stayed in Fred's apartment for one week over Christmas, it's the perfect place to stay while exploring Bordeaux. You are easy walking distance the Marche des Capucins, where you can hang out with the locals, enjoying oysters & white wine or a short stroll to the city centre passing through numerous squares and small cobbled streets lined with lots of great looking bars & restaurants.
Fred was great host, organising for us to check in early, which was really helpful, also a great communicator before & during our stay.
The apartment is lovely, as described, ideal for a couple. Would stay again if returning to Bordeaux.
