Excellent apartment. We could not have picked a better apartment to stay in Bordeaux. If you are staying in Bordeaux I cant imagine a better place in regards to location and comfort of the apartment. Guillaume was an excellent host; he exceeded my expectation for a rental of an Airbnb apartment. He was prompt and quick with his responses. We chose this apartment at the last minute and I was lucky that it was available. Not only was the apartment exactly as described, but Guillaume also left some items for us in the refrigerator and a bottle of wine to get us started. The apartment was located in the best part of Bordeaux and was walking distance to everything. Also if you are traveling by plane or train there is a bus in front of the apartment that will take you to the train station or the airport. You are within a 100m walk to any of the public transportation options in Bordeaux. We did not rent a car and did not need one to see everything.

Even with this convenience and location in the middle of the action, the apartment was extremely quiet. The windows overlooked a plaza across the street and it was peaceful seeing the city in the morning come alive from the small terrace you could walk out on.

Staying at Guillaume’s place capped an amazing visit to Bordeaux and I will definitely be coming back to stay for a longer stay. Hopefully the apartment will be available, as I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

One thing to be aware of is that this is a walk up and you have to go up a couple flight of stairs. It was not an issue for us, outside of having too much luggage to go up with upon arrival. Guilliaume was there when we arrived and was able to help us bring our bags up. He also showed us everything in the apartment, even his fancy espresso machine that I definitely enjoyed. In addition, he made himself available to us to answer any questions and give us suggestions for restaurants and areas to visit.

All in all it was a good trip, great apartment and fantastic host. Could not have asked for more, and actually felt I got more than what I paid for. One additional tip: Take Guilliaume’s advice for restaurants in the area. Don’t ask any questions just go where he tells you to go. Trust me on this one.
