“Petite Annick” is a great alternative accommodation option in Bordeaux - we had a fantastic time there, thanks Louis!
Best things - Louis was very helpful and responded to questions quickly. The duplex itself is well-equipped, lovely terrace on the water, good air conditioning units upstairs and down, good water pressure and the communal areas are also lovely - four-poster bed up on top of the boat and a fun dip-pool in a big vat to cool off in. The Bordeaux bicycles are a really good way to explore the city and there’s a stand within 5 mins of the barge. The tram is also excellent and the Rue Achard and Cité du Vin stops are 10-15 mins walk away. The area is up and coming with some cool trendy places around the old submarine base - Effet Mer is recommended for food, drinks, pétanque and dancing with a friendly mixed crowd.
Considerations - the WiFi didn’t work for us. It was there and we connected but it didn’t actually give us any internet access. We had to rely on data, which was fine but definitely something to be aware of. Based on our experience, you wouldn’t want to be relying on WiFi for work or heavy use.
