We had a great time in Bordeaux at Benjamin's apartment. Anne-Marie welcomed us warmly and even helped us move our suitcases in (which given the steep 3 story staircase was very appreciated). The place is well situated, right next to Saint Michael, and a 15 minute walk from downtown. There is a Carrefour city a block away and a bakery just at the end of the street. The apartment is unique, with a small but functional kitchen and a big bedroom with a comfy bed. The skylight gives lots of nice light in the living room and there is a view of the cathedral bell tower from every window. If you are tall, beware the sloping ceilings, particularly in the bathroom.
