We had a great flight out to Bordeaux and immediately hopped on bus and tram as suggested by Xavier, to get to the Vieux Bordeaux, an unusual quiet but authentic city part.
Xavier welcomed us to his studio and provided us with many tips to do in the city, after having explained us the basic amenities inside of the apartment. The first two hours in Bordeaux reflected what we experienced throughout our stay: friendliness and hospitality, not to mention the city's superb public transportation system. The studio itself is a small gem, exactly as shown on the site and containing everything to make a stay worth your while, not to mention the subtle touches in furniture and fittings.
