If you want to feel like you are living in Bordeaux, this is the place! The apartment is in a beautiful, old building (with MANY stairs!), but the kitchen and plumbing are up-to-date. It's easy to cook, do work (the Wi-Fi is VERY fast), and it is close to many small grocery stores, trams, busses, and bicycles for rent. Everything you need is there. The roof-top patio is lovely for meals, and you can watch the sunset. Lots of light!
There are some good restaurants nearby, but most of the shopping and restaurants are a little farther away (within 10-15 minutes walk). It is also about 25-30 minutes from the train station by tram.
I recommend you visit the Roman amphitheater ruins and the gorgeous public park - both are less than a few minutes' walk.
