We stayed at this apartment for two nights for a first time stay in Bordeaux and really enjoyed it.
The apartment is in a very cool and old world apartment block (as are many in France) and the decor is very antique which is our style. Location is on the street right next to the river and tram stop. The tram makes it really easy to get North up to Bassins a flot or to go south to the centre of town.
Other than the river though, there didn't feel like there were many exciting things to see by foot so the tram was helpful. It may not be the best place to stay if you want to be in the heart of the city or even in the heart of Chartrons, as you had to walk 5-10 minutes to get to where the better restaurants were. For a first stay in Bordeaux I would recommend staying in the middle of town near to the monuments and hustle and bustle, otherwise for non-newbies the location is ok.
For check-in Eric met us at his shop and helped direct us to the apartment a few blocks away where he then again met us and helped with bags. In hindsight it would have been better for us to meet directly at the apartment instead of the two meeting points, as we had trouble finding parking near the shop, but it was all good.
Eric was very friendly and helpful.
Also, wifi signal was best we had in France.
Great apartment, great price and great host.
