Jean-Xavier's apartment is stylish, spacious, quiet, warm (I was there Feb/Mar) spotlessly clean and with all mod cons in a stunning XVlll century setting. It is a short walk to the elegant main shopping street which, even if you don't like shopping, is wonderful to walk down. Surrounded by narrow streets of fascinating architecture, it is close to many interesting things either by foot or the 'very easy to use' tram. Getting there from the airport is also easy with a tram stop just a few minutes away. Jean-Xavier himself is warm and welcoming, patiently spending time with me and my attempt to learn French even though he has a good command of English himself. His knowledge of Bordeaux is boundless. I can thoroughly recommend this Airbnb and Jean-Xavier, the perfect host!!!
