We spent 3 nights in Stéphane's central Bordeaux flat. Interior decoration is very tasteful and the space is well shared out. Location is very good and convenient, close enough to the centre (walking distance) yet not in a crowded/(too) noisy area, and with easy access to public transport. There are no neighbours in the building during weekends, which adds to the sense of privacy.
[We rented a car for a day to visit out of town locations, and parked in the underground car park opposite the flat - but Bordeaux is best enjoyed on foot/public transport!)
Bordeaux has breathtaking architecture (we highly recommend a stroll through the public/botanical garden) and lots of restaurants to explore. It's a big, youthful and active city, yet not too big to be stressful. The amazing sites around the Bordeaux area are just too numerous to mention...so definitely worth it!
