This is a beautifully renovated apartment in a central area of Bordeaux, near public transportation and walking distance to restaurants and the river. It is immaculately clean and masterfully decorated (it even smells amazing). The building is from the 1700’s (I think), and so the floors are a little creaky, and the layout is a little quirky, but that merely adds to the charm of this place. Jean Xavier is an interesting, helpful person and was fun to chat with. He is very busy, so he wasn’t around too much but checked in on us via texts to make sure we were doing well. He also shared a glass of wine and good conversation with us one evening. This was our first experience renting a private room in an occupied apartment and it couldn’t have gone better. Top Marks! We know where to stay in Bordeaux!!
