The apartment is large and comfortable. Has stairs to the first floor and to the bedrooms in the second floor. We loved the location, right in the middle of the city and walking distance to attractions. It has shopping, restaurants, bakeries, bars and supermarkets in the same neighborhood. There is a movie theater with movies in english right across the apartment. The bicycle rental is in the same street. We stayed a month and used Bordeaux as a base to visit wineries in Medoc, St Emilion and Graves. Also visited Arcachon and the Pyla Dunes. There is a parking garage near the apt which was convenient when we had a car and cost about 20Euros per day. Bernard and his wife received us, explained the apartment and gave us a map of the city and provided some orientation. Bernard’s wife speaks english and all our communication was easy and timely. Being in the city, there is noise from the street which is expected. The master bedroom faces the back and is very quiet. We had a wonderful time and will return.
