Laurent's flat is immaculate, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The location is great. It's close to the university so a lively area with reasonable restaurants, bars and quirky shops. It's an easy stroll to the river and the more upmarket areas such as Saint Pierre and all the main sites. Also close to Place Victoire for tramway line B and the Liane 1 bus line for the station and airport and to Capucins food market, where after 12 you could also eat lunch. Laurent was very easy to communicate with, met us as arranged, welcomed us with a bottle of wine and lots of useful information about visiting Bordeaux. Highly recommended host and apartment.
