Isabelle is a fine and responsive host. I was a bit ill when I arrived in Bordeaux and she allowed me to check-in a few hours early despite there being workmen in the apartment. The apartment is spacious and well-appointed; I was very happy with it. There is comfortable furniture - a must for a long stay! The neighborhood leaves something to be desired. Though only a five-minute walk from Place de la Victoire, the street itself is largely devoid of anything of interest. There is, of course, the small grocery store just two doors down from the apartment - a life saver when you need something quick.
