This is indeed a beautiful apartment in a great location in the historic center of Bordeaux within walking distance of everything (and there is much to see and do in Bordeaux). It is well fitted out, and Crystel was there to welcome us with a bottle of Margaux! The ceilings are high and the beds comfortable (the second bedroom being a loft in a separate room). The kitchen has everything you need except an oven (there is a microwave).

On the less positive side, there is no elevator and you have to walk up 39 stone steps to the apartment - not unusual in France or a problem for us, but it might be for others. There is no washing machine, but laundry can be done a few steps down the road.

My wife and I stayed here for four weeks, and our only complaint really was that it is a bit noisy on the square at night. The square is off-limits to traffic but not apparently to motor scooters. The bars stay open late, and some revelers don't know when it is time to go home to bed!

That aside, this is a great place to stay and Crystel was very helpful and friendly.
