We arrived in mid October where we were extremely lucky to catch a weekend of 28 degree weather with humid and sun!
Sebastian was attentive and navigated us on travelling from Bordeaux airport to the nearest tram stop and it's a mere 5-8 minute walk to his apartment.
THE LOCATION - Old town of Bordeaux
You really can't get any better location of Bordeaux than Sebastian's apartment! From Bordeaux airport to the front door is roughly an hour with Bus/Tram.
Located on a quiet road but very near the popular shops and cafes. As mentioned above you are about 5 - 10 minutes walk (with public traffic) away from either Tram A lines and Tram C lines. You are surrounded by squares which are wonderful place to relax especially during sunset weekend evenings. There is so much to admire around the surrounding areas.
THE HOST
Upon arrival Sebastian welcomed my wife and I at the door to the apartment and even helped us bring up the luggage which was 2 floors up! (Thank you!) He was informative and recommended on many places to eat locally and getting around too. He was patient and never felt rushed.
THE APARTMENT
Yes it has wifi connection! The apartment is cozy, bright and has good security. At first glance you see that it is immaculate and practically feels like a brand newly built place as it's all clean, neat and tidy. The kitchen hides and pops out when you open cupboard doors and it features, nespresso machine (with capsules), tea, Fridge - with jams and drinks, 2 electric stoves, glass tumblers. In the next cupboard gives you clothes storage, cutlery/ kitchen utensils and kettle for boiling water.
Around the corner brings you the bathroom which is very clean and stylish and has all the things you need - Shampoo, Shower gel and hairdryer as well as the towels etc. Also bare in mind that flushing the toilet requires you to pull the lever right up and not a pump action as I've learnt the embarrassing way by having to call Sebastian for help and he offered to come all the way back up and demonstrate it to me! XD
The bed is comfortable and plenty of space to sleep for two people.
Improvements (at the time of writing)
- The bathroom could do with a shower curtain as a lot of splash from showering can end up on the floor and end up soaking shower carpets but only damaging flooring and causing damp and mould. There is no extractor fan so the toilet lid should always be closed when not in use (if you know what I mean...)
Overall, the place and the host are wonderful and I couldn't be anymore happier that we've made the right choice choosing Sebastian and his wonderful bnb. I would recommend staying here as the location is perfect and walking distance to practically everywhere! Many thanks once again Sebastian!
