We had such a lovely stay in Xavier's flat. Everything was well organised. He was there precisely at 5 pm when we arrived and showed us around. He also gave very useful tips and instructions on how to go where. He advised not to use the car (was safely parked in the underground parking opposite his apartment, this is very convenient indeed – only ten meters from his front door ). The apartment is in a very stylish Bordeaux town centre. An elegant townhouse. The street is full of life and interesting shops. Xavier advised we used tramway, as the next morning we had a medical visit in the hospital in Haut-Leveque. No stress. There are stops nearby and the service is frequent and fast. The St Pierre Quartier was lovely to be in; it is Bordeaux’s answer to the Quartier Latin in Paris but with a little more ‘culture’. Many little terraces, restaurants and bistros . As it is a student area it is full of life, theatre and cultural events. An old church converted into a cinema is only 50 yards away. People are very kind and helpful. Xavier was the perfect host. He explained everything, answered all questions, including the ones we did not ask.
The flat has all amenities that are necessary. It is very quiet inside thanks to the double glazing, the bedroom has a big bed! There is a small kitchen area and bare essentials, like coffee and tea are available. Overall a very comfortable and elegant place, warmly recommended for short stays in that lovely old historical Bordeaux Centre.
