Alain's apartment is very spacious, very nicely kept and has all the amenities you need for a short trip. We traveled by car, so the parking space was invaluable. You can reach the city center by tram, or walk about 2 km. Due to the fact that the apartment is not in the very center of the city, the area is quiet and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle.
Alain was very helpful and gave us lots of advice and tips on what to see and where to go while in Bordeaux. I recommend.
