Florence is an absolute gem and her stylishly decorated apartment had everything we needed for our stay - especially a very comfy bed! It is well positioned near the park and the bus to Bordeaux centre runs from right outside the door. The surrounding streets have shops, delis and boulangeries. The transport system is great once you get it figured out and tickets are easy to buy with the TBM app or from the tram station just the other side of the park (Courbet stop, some nice shops here too!) Tickets include the boat taxi too. We weren't brave enough to use the city bikes, but they looked fun! The pool was a very welcome addition, especially being salt water. We would definitely recommend a stay here! There's lots to do in Bordeaux, the heritage tour is worthwhile (even self-guided) and a visit to the Bar a Vin is a must.
