Whether it be day or night, the view across the street of Porte Caihau from this apartment is magnificent; it’s a perfect place to stay in Bordeaux old town. The apartment has a two sided balcony with small tables; we enjoyed sitting there with our coffee along with croissants from the bakery down the street and with great regional wine later in the day. The square below is lively at night but not rowdy. The sound diminishes early. The apartment has large, sunny rooms. It hasn’t been modernized like some so the furnishings reflect some age, but we were very comfortable. The tram is nearby offering convenient transportation to other parts of the city. And there are many restaurants along the river quai and in the square at Peter’s Church. Lea is a great host, helpful and responsive to all communication. We would definitely stay here again is we return to Bordeaux.
