we had a great time at Cristina's place. the place is smaller than in the pictures and the ladder to the bed was a bit tricky for me at first but i got used to it. if you're a light sleeper then the place is not for you as it is on a main street and there's lots of cars and ambulances passing by. the apartment is in the heart of Bordeaux and close to everything. overall it's a good place for the money!
