We booked Sylvie's apartment ba k in February based on the positive reviews. We enjoyed the small apartment although all we did there was sleep, and make morning coffee. The location really is ideal. One caution about this small apartment to take into consideration Re the steep and narrow steps leading up to the loft bedroom and bath. They are steep and narrow, so be aware of this issue. Of course, there is no air conditioning, which is generally not a problem, but then we hit a September hot spell. Good thing there is a fan in the bedroom
Even then it was trop chaud. But thats not a criticism of the apartment. The address is perhaps a hundred meters, around severe corners, from a main street, Victor Hugo, which leads right to the river and a tram station. Wish we had known that before we took a taxi from the train station to the apartment. 3 euros versus 16 euros. CFes, bars, shops. And restaurants are found in any direction from the apartment. Croissants unlike anything back home. What was most interesting about the neighborhood was the night life. The outdoor dining and drinking scene was vibrant. On the way back to Rue Nueve on our last bight, after a fabulous meal at an almost Michelin star bistro, we found an outrageous cocktail bar. A great way to conclude our brief visit to Bordeaux.
