Monique's apartment exceeded expectations in so many ways. Before booking I wasn't as familiar with Bordeaux and had concerns about being outside the city centre. It was quickly apparent that we actually preferred it. Right next to the quai with new restaurants, running/bike paths, etc., a hop away from the tram, down the street from the Cité du Vin, and the list goes on. The apartment itself was wonderful. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bed was very comfortable, and the terrace was great. I highly recommend.
