Stéphane welcomed us. He was friendly, kind and happy to chat.
The apartment was spacious and the bed super comfortable.
The building itself is lovely, classically French of this type. We loved the stone staircase leading to the apartment especially.
It is in a nice part of the city, with a tram stop right outside. There are restaurants and cafés aplenty, from next door, to all the way through the surrounding streets.
Now, the two best things for us...
Firstly the big, traditional French doors, that let in the sun (which comes straight in throughout the morning) and that let you out on to the three little balconies (two from the living room and the other from the bedroom).
And secondly, the position. The apartment overlooks the mighty Garonne, the beautiful river that gives the area its energy. You can walk along it on lovely, wide embankment paths, right towards the city centre, or left, past a vibrant row of shops, cafés and restaurants.
We certainly didn’t regret our choice!
