The perfect Airbnb experience!
This is the second time I've stayed in Antoine's gorgeous apartment and I absolutely love the place. I stayed here during my first visit to Bordeaux in January 2019 and instantly fell in love with the apartment and the city (I actually booked my second stay in the apartment immediately because I knew I wanted to come back.)
It was just as wonderful the second time around. Antoine is a marvelous host - communication with him was quick and easy at all times and the check-in and check-out process were seamless. The apartment itself is absolutely stunning - stylish, spotless and cosy with beautiful exposed brickwork, lots of lovely lighting and a heated towel rail in the bathroom, which is a nice touch. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow lots of natural light into the rooms and lend a really relaxing energy to the place. The bed is really comfortable and Antoine had left out lots of towels for my trip. The place is so gorgeous is that I found it difficult to drag myself out of the apartment to go and explore the city!
The location of the apartment couldn't be better - it's a two-minute walk from the river, a five-minute walk from the historic Pont de Pierre, a 15/20-minute walk from Gare St Jean and a ten-minute walk from Rue Saint-Catherine, the main shopping street in Bordeaux. Antoine provided a really useful run-down of local restaurants, wine bars and places of note to visit during my stay - I tried as many of these recommendations as I could and couldn't fault any of them.
10/10 for Antoine and his stunning apartment - I hope to stay here many more times but Ihave a feeling it's going to be harder and harder to book as word gets out about it!
