Before I describe the apartment, I would first like to write about Patricia. Patricia is a wonderful person and I am so pleased with how considerate, thoughtful and kind she is. Unfortunately, during my stay I injured myself badly and almost cut off my small finger. I needed to be rushed by ambulance to a specialist surgeon on the other side of Bordeaux for a long operation. Without hesitation, Patricia came to my help and looked after my son for the entire afternoon while I was in hospital. Patricia is a kind, considerate and wonderful person. You could not wish for a better host.
The apartment itself is well furnished and decorated with high quality goods throughout. The room is large with a good bed. Patricia also provided us with a top quality futon for my son when my partner arrived to look after me after my accident. The kitchenette is well appointed, as is the very large shower in the bathroom. The toilet is in its own room. The kitchenette has a microwave but no oven or countertop cooker.
Although not in central Bordeaux there are reasonable connections into town by bus (line 6). An alternative bus (line 29) to central Bordeaux is also available a few blocks north of the apartment on the other side of the centre of Bruges, which is a pleasant small town. A longer walk north will get you to Gare de Bruges, which offers TBM Tram (C line), TER train, and other local TBM bus connections. Although I did not have a car, I do not believe street parking would be a problem in Bruges as it is in other regions of Bordeaux.
Hopefully you now have a better understanding of the accommodation and your host. Patricia and I have agreed to keep in contact and I am so extremely grateful and thankful to know such a wonderful person.
