Vincent is a terrific host! He was warm and welcoming and extremely helpful with tips and advice about Bordeaux, and he communicated so well and in such a friendly way. His place is also wonderful to stay in. It’s on the highest floor, so there’s a great view of Bordeaux’s rooftops and the spite of a nearby ancient church. Everything is efficient and easy to use, and Vincent has good taste in design as well, with homey touches here and there. The bed was super-comfortable as well. The apartment is on a beautiful street in old Bordeaux, rich with history, and previous residents included some of the most famous names in French letters. There are magical alleyways and streets nearby to explore, and you may happen to find (as I did) the unassuming storefront that happens to be the building where Montaigne wrote his famous Essays. Vincent also provided excellent recommendations on what to eat, including the best canelés in Bordeaux, which were an absolutely religious experience. All in all, it was such a lovely time and Vincent was the best host. Thank you Vincent!
