This is a lovely spacious studio apartment. It is equipped with everything you would need for a stay in Bordeaux, and was clean and comfortable. There is a small enclosed patio area just outside the front door. Too small to sit in,and walls on all sides, but great for drying washing as it's open air. A couple of things to note: the wall cupboards in the kitchen are very high, so if you're not very tall this might be a problem. Also, bear in mind that this is a busy area. There are trams and vehicles going past all the time, and there are a couple of bars below the apartment. If it's warm and you need to keep the windows open, be prepared for it to be noisy! Apart from that it's a great place, with lovely views of the river and for us it was within walking distance of all the attractions. Thanks to Stephanie, the host, who was very helpful and patient with us when we got a bit lost and arrived much later than we'd promised!
