I stayed 8 nights in Sebastien's apartment in Saint Michel, and I felt immediately at home as soon as I walked in. Sebastien was very easy to communicate with prior to my arrival, and very accommodating. Travelling from Australia, Sebastien even helped me with my luggage before and after my stay! The apartment was clean and immaculately presented; it was exactly as it appears in the photos. The apartment is bright and airy with 2 sets of French doors, and a well equipped kitchen for nights when you don't feel like going out. Sebastien's artwork and carefully selected furnishings give the apartment a very retro yet contemporary feel, and I was very comfortable - I had amazing nights' sleeps during my stay!
The apartment is well located, almost right on the steps of the Saint Michel Basilica, with many cafes and bars nearby, or if you prefer to head into the main centre of Bordeaux city, the tram stop is right at the end of the street; within 3 tram stops you will find yourself at the Grand Theatre and main shopping district. The apartment is also about 3 tram stops away from the Gare Saint Jean train station.
Sebastien was a very helpful host, always available to answer any queries that I had about the apartment or about the local area.
Thanks for being a great host Sebastien and for making my stay in Bordeaux so easy; I'll definitely let you know when I am next in Bordeaux!
