I could not agree more with the other "five star" reviewers fir Mel's apartment. The location --5 min walk from major tram line and train station--was ideal The studio has a fantastic view over the city and all the amenities for a comfy stay--including a full bath (with tub--perfect to soak after a day out). Mel was a great host and helpful in providing relevant info to visiting and enjoying the city. I was in Bordeaux during the french rail strike and he was very flexible in accommodating changes to my itinerary. If I were a frequent traveler to Bordeaux this would be my "go to" place. Good value and amenities.
