I was travelling solo and stayed 5 nights at Xavier 's apartment. It exceeded my expectations. It is a nice mix of old and new. It is really well positioned. Walking home by myself in the late evening felt safe. The locals were welcoming too. Xavier was very good at communicating with me over the details & arrangements. He did what he said he would do. He was very generous with his time and ensured I got a full briefing on the area, restaurant recommendations and the like. If I am ever lucky enough to go back to Bordeaux I would stay there again. I highly recommend this apartment.
