The location is absolutely FANTASTIC! Our arrival was delayed, but Crystel had arranged for Aissa to greet us and he was waiting and provided us with helpful tips and information. We enjoyed the bottle of Rose that was left for us, but had a well stocked store directly across from the entrance. Bordeaux is a beautiful city and everything is within close proximity to this apartment, whether you're looking for cafe's, groceries, wine, shopping, museums, history...it is all right there. We enjoyed having coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon on the balcony overlooking the plaza. The unit has a small AC unit that is extremely efficient and cooled the apartment down quickly. It was helpful to have the bathroom split with a sink/mirror in both locations. We found all the people we encountered during our stay to be friendly and helpful even though we don't speak any French. We are already talking about coming back and would absolutely rent this apartment again.
