Carole's husband Franc kindly met us at the property with the key and gave us a brief tour of the apartment. It is positioned within a terrific neighbourhood in the centre of Bordeaux, close to smart restaurants, shops, trams at either end of the street and just a few minutes stroll from the waterfront. Entering the building through an ancient courtyard the apartment is impressive and exactly as photographed, with high ceilings and artistic styling throughout. All rooms are generous in size and there is a small shaded courtyard garden with 2 chairs off the kitchen. Carole and Franc left us to enjoy the property and we had no reason to contact them during our stay. We stayed there with our adult children who are 20 and 24.
