The host was very welcoming and helpful and was there to greet us and on time yo see us depart. The apartment generally conformed to the description. The private parking facilities were a prerequisite for us choosing the accommodation. The apartment is located in a relatively new / newly developing area with limited social and culinary outlets, although the large Auchen shopping centre lies within walking distance, and having various small coffee shops and restaurants. Unlike most of the other apartments in the building this has the benefit of a fairly large patio, perfect for evening dinning and relaxing. The apartment is usually occupied by the owner when not hosted out. It therefore has a lived-in feel and is somewhat more "cluttered" than pictures would imply.
The local tram station lies a few 10's of meters from the front door providing cheap and convenient access to the city. The apartment location is convenient for exploring the Bordeaux region by car with easy access to the main motorway. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful town of Saint-Emilion and the natural park of the Arcachon Basin.
