What a wonderful stay in Bordeaux! Louis was just as amazing as his apartment. The little studio had everything we needed - a big comfortable bed, a bathroom with a good shower, a kitchen area, and even had some breakfast foods provided for us. The little patio area right before you go into the actual studio is basically a very small central courtyard which actually has some sort of plastic roof to keep out the weather but it still would be a nice place to share a glass of wine and feel like you're outside, if it hadn't been a bit chilly while we were there.

Louis was an excellent host, providing us with a map, must-sees, and directions as soon as we got there, even giving us a ten minute tour of the immediate neighborhood to situate us with what we were seeing on the map and to help locate the nearby supermarket and bakery. The location is great, a few blocks off of the main shopping street, close to the big cathedral, and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It is apparently a very safe city and we felt totally at ease walking back late at night. There are several tram lines running right at the end of the street, which we took to arrive at the apartment but never needed again, though if you wanted to venture further out from the center it seems like it would be easy from this location as well.

A wonderful place to stay. We would definitely stay there again and are already planning on recommending Louis to friends who will be traveling soon. Thanks Louis! Hope to be back again someday.
