Maylis and Andy’s apartment is super comfortable, warm, bright and well situated in the lively and colourful Capucins area. The market, which is only a couple of hundred yards from the apartment, is amazing with lots of great eating opportunities - we loved it for Sunday brunch. Place Victoire at the other end of the street is lively with its many terrace bars - it’s popular with students so there’s always a good buzz about the place which we loved. This square leads onto rue St Catherine and all the big shops and also the tram stop to take you to the other interesting parts of the city if you don’t want to walk. The apartment itself is lovely and quiet, very spacious and tastefully decorated. The bed is huge and extremely comfortable. We visited for a month and the apartment had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
Probably, best of all though was the particular hospitality offered by Maylis and Andy, who were exceptional hosts. They clearly know and love Bordeaux very much and shared their enthusiasm for this fine city with us. They provided us with plenty of helpful local knowledge and even allowed us to join them to listen to live music (Andy is a great guitarist) in a couple of local bars.
We felt privileged to be able to stay in Maylis’ apartment and recommend it without hesitation to other visitors. We’ll most certainly return!
