Where do we start!? Gisele's apartment is beautiful! The furniture and decor is incredibly stylish, her taste is impeccable and we stole lots of her ideas for our own home! Gisele was there to meet us at the apartment when we arrived and gave us a warm welcome despite us arriving a little late. There was a small language barrier as we cannot speak French but her charm and character shone through and everything was conveyed clearly. Gisele is very generous, she gave us a small bottle of wine as a welcome gift and there was bread, oranges and other things for us to have. It all felt very French and quaint. She recommended things for us to do in Bordeaux and later in our visit even allowed us to check out later than the advertised time. One thing to note is that the apartment is up 3 flights of stairs with no elevator which might be an issue for some people but it's clearly stated in the advert and we found it to be no problem. Location wise, the street is quiet and in a nice area, near a park, some shops and the Girondins monument where you can easily connect to the train station within 10-15 mins on Tram line C. If you are not familiar with Bordeaux, I would say that the apartment is situated at the nicer end of the city and only 10 mins from the centre. We highly recommend and hope to return one day.
