Xavier's apartment is ideally situated for visiting the old centre of Bordeaux. The apartment itself is really spacious for a 1-bed and the rooms are large and airy, with high ceilings. Kitchen facilities are bit limited, but there is a vast choice of restaurants, bars and cafes all within a 5 minute walk. The area is busy but we didn't find it noisy. One word of advice to the reader - PLEASE READ XAVIER''S ADVICE ON TRAVEL FROM THE AIRPORT!!
