Fabulous location in the centre of historic Bordeaux, with well designed decor and good communication from owner. Sadly the type of building and location within it means it is dark and damp, and because the only windows open directly onto the street it can feel quite air-less, especially when windows are closed for security. A simple fan would help, but an air purifying one would make stays here much more comfortable. We struggled for some time to open the lock-box for the keys at check-in which was stressful after a long journey despite doing everything as advised. Quick communication back from owner saying to keep trying as it can be hard sometimes alleviated this somewhat, however a fresh lock may be easier. Overall a good stay with great convenience within Bordeaux, but a couple of small additions could make it even better.
