Total gem of an apartment! In the heart of Bordeaux - on pedestrian only street. 18th century, former palace. Soaring ceilings, period architectural carving. Waist-ceiling-windows open onto courtyard - no noises other than the birds. Perfect romantic get-away. Michel is a delightful host. Great restaurant and site recommendations. The photographs on the Airbnb profile are legitimate. We've stayed in many Airbnb's - and apartments always look better in the photos. Not this one.
