Our host Raphaelle was very clear on the directions from the airport to the apartment, which were perfectly accurate; the bus is direct, cheap and stops just around the corner from the apartment.

Raphaelle met us warmly at the apartment and showed us where everything was, and also gave us a lot of information regarding the local area. The apartment was beautifully presented, exactly like the photos, with everything we could have wanted for self-catering; she gave us full use of the apartment, including WiFi and cable TV. The location was ideal as it was so close to the centre of Bordeaux; it made us feel much more part of life in the city.

Raphaelle's indications for shopping and promenading were very good and we will be returning to Bordeaux, mostly because of our recent experience.
