Xavier was very helpful, friendly and professional. Due to a plumbing leak a few days before we were due to stay at his apartment, he sourced another beautiful apartment for us to stay in. Can't comment on Xaviers flat but the one we stayed in was very chic and right in the center of Bordeax.
He gave great suggestion for places to visit and eat.
We had a hire car an there was no on street parking in the area we stayed so had to pay for 2 days in a close by car park. Was £39 so not too pricy but worth factoring in to overall cost if you will have a car. Absolutely no need for a car within the city as easy to get about on foot/bike/public transport.
