It's the kind of place we just wished was our own. We spent a week here in Bordeaux and one of our favourite parts was coming home to Nicole's beautiful light filled airy apartment.
On Rue St Catherine, directly opposite Galleries Lafayette, it couldn't be more convenient, but at the same time, so very quiet. We could walk to the Quai, the Jardin Public, all through the city, and we took day trips to Saint Emilion, Cap Ferret and Arcachon, with the ease of the tram and train. (If you do go to Saint Emilion, we highly recommend Tertre for lunch)
The apartment itself is so beautifully thought out, typically French and a pleasure to be in. Beautiful books line the walls, an eclectic mix of furniture and lighting... views out the window of beautiful Bordeaux rooftops and a radio tuned in to French classical music.
The kitchen had everything we needed and lots of space. Great to be able to use a washing machine in house. There is a small elevator, but the 3 or 4 flights of stairs are perfectly manageable and wide.
Nicole and her partner were there to meet us and are just so lovely. We received great tips from them about the area.
Our favourite Airbnb experience so far :) Thank you for having us Nicole and Jean Etienne.
