Michel's place is fabulous. I have never seen anything like that: a huge apartment, which was formerly a reception hall of the town with high ceilings, large windows and fine decor. Huge mirrors facing each other on the opposite walls give an impression of even more space.

The place is right in the historical center of Bordeaux, within a few steps from shops, cafes, and locations to visit. The art museums are around the corner. Yet, it is super quiet and one would enjoy a peaceful morning and a calm night.

I loved the mystery of a bathroom as if carved in a cave. I could get lost there for hours if I had the time.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all one need, there is even a washing machine!

Michel is a great host, he went out of his way to make me feel comfortable, providing very useful tips where to visit in Bordeaux and around and making sure I had all what was needed.

As an extra treat, there was a notebook full of tips and suggestions where guest would leave their recommendations for places to visit or eat out.

I would definitely recommend Michel's place and hope to stay there again!
