This is a lovely apartment, very tastefully decorated. It has everything you need for self-catering and is within easy walking distance of shops and markets.
The hosts, Brigitte and her partner Olivier, were extremely kind and helpful both at check-in and check-out. Olivier speaks excellent English and was able to give us many tips, not only in relation to our stay in Bordeaux but also in relation to the next leg of our trip. There are quite a lot of steps up to the apartment but Olivier helped us with our suitcases on arrival and departure.
Public transport is easy and close to the apartment. If coming from the airport, be aware that there is a regular public bus that travels into the centre and costs only E1.50 rather than E8.00 for the direct shuttle. It runs every 10 minutes and is reliable, if somewhat slower. On the evening we arrived the shuttle bus had not arrived 30 minutes after its scheduled time and most people waiting gave up and headed for the other bus. Currently it shows Quinconces on the front rather than the station, as there are road-works around the station, but it is easy to transfer onto a tram at Quinconces, without having to pay any more if it is within an hour of validating your original ticket.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend the apartment to others, provided they have no mobility problems.
