We highly recommend Juliette’s place.
Her apartment is spacious and really comfortable. This is the best bed we have had in France. The heaters, nicely warm her sunny apartment. The apartment has a nice courtyard too!
We didn’t actually meet Juliette Hottot but her communication was excellent and she tried to be helpful. If coming from the train station , pickup a copy of the tram system before you leave. It is easy to get to her apartment but transfer the address directly into google maps as there is a problem with the airbnb site. Bordeaux is a town designed to get maximum money from tourists so be careful with food. Look for the daily specials and don’t deviate as they will charge you 5 Euro for a shitty coffee. This is France! 😀
The Tourist Office is fantastic and they really try to help and not just fleece you. To get to the airport you only need your single tram ticket(1.90 Euro). Catch a tram to Lycees de Mérignac and then get bus 1 to Mérignac Airport. Cheap and easy. The Tourist Office will help. Also, for a great wine tour book the bus from the tourist office. It is a great outing and a considerably cheaper cost. They only do the Medoc( best) area 3 times a week so do your research.
Anyhow, Juliette’s place is excellent!
The walking tour in English/French from the Tourist Office is very ordinary. A very quirky Frenchman(Pierre) took our tour!
Enjoy
