We had a nice welcome from Ines, Catherine's niece, who lives next door. It was very easy to communicate with her and Catherine to coordinate our stay. This is a great home in an excellent location whether you have a car or not. A space in a nearby parking garage is included in the rental. It's maybe a one minute walk to one of the main tram lines which gets you in the center in 15 minutes. The house is modern and airy, and the back garden is wonderful to rest in after a long day of sightseeing. The kitchen is fully equipped, although we didn't really use it other than to warm things up. It's a great place to stay in Bordeaux.
