Louis and Anne's apartment is the perfect place to explore Bordeaux. We were transiting between southern France and Tuscany and had a limited selection of flights available. So we decided to stay in Bordeaux and found Louis and Anne's lovely place. It was the right price and location. Little did we know how great of a place we would have! From the moment we booked, Louis was wonderful. He provided information on transit options to his place. When we were delayed he assured us it was no problem and even sent us new information about public transit because of road construction. He greeted us with a friendly smile and he sat us down for a well prepared introduction to Bordeaux. Since we had never been to Bordeaux this was so good for us! The apartment was immaculately clean and well stocked with granola, basic cooking supplies (e.g., olive oil, milk, butter, etc), little cakes and cookies for breakfast, and beer and other refreshments including a bottle of Bordeaux wine we enjoyed along the promenade in front of the Gironde. Other little details surprised us like umbrellas, shopping bags, guidebooks, and even a sewing kit! The location is easily accessible from the airport and train station by public transit which Louis provides instructions on. It is also a short walk to the river and the St Pierre neighbourhood which has many wonderful restaurants as well as Te shopping street Rue St Catherine. It is set back from the main street so you will hear an occasional tram go by. But the windows keep the place quiet and bright. They even provided black out curtains. This was such a delight and comfort as we sometimes struggle with sleep if it's bright and noisy. Air conditioning is also available and makes the night much cooler (though it wasn't as hot in Bordeaux as we had anticipated). A Carrefour Express is a two minute walk away. The Bordeaux city bike rentals are also located nearby and make for easy and fast exploration of the city. Louis and Anne have truly created a home away from home. We are guessing that they have travelled quite a bit and know that it's the little things that makes a trip go smoothly and enjoyably. They own the building which also provides a sense of safety and security knowing they are just downstairs in case we had an issue. We had to leave for an early morning flight at 6:30 am and as we did, Louis popped his head out of his apartment and wished us safe travels! In comparison to many other AirBNBs we have stayed at this one outshines every other one in terms of comfort and value and location and we would not hesitate to book again. We'd give this AirBNB an 11/10. Thank Louis and Anne!
