The location of this apartment is ideal if you want to try out Bordeaux's great wine bars and restaurants (particularly recommend Lou Lou). You’re only a short stroll away from several hubs of restaurants, yet the apartment is quiet being tucked away on a side street. It’s also only a short walk to the river front and the tram stop if you want to go further afield to the Cite du Vin.
Being recently refurbished, the apartment was very clean with a good shower and a well-equipped kitchen. It’s situated on the ground floor so the rooms and courtyard do not receive much light, but this does mean they remain refreshingly cool in the Bordeaux summer.
Caroline was quickly responsive when we locked ourselves out of the apartment one evening and her assistant was helpfully able to let us back in without too long a delay, much to our relief.
