Our stay in Henry's apartment was a real treat. It's an exceptional and unique place, with some amazing medieval-era architectural interior features (columns and ceilings) remaining from the former church building. The living room w/ open-plan kitchen and the master bedroom were the standout spaces in this regard. My wife and I were travelling with our two teenage children and they also loved the place. Since the apartment has three bedrooms, everyone had their own private space to enjoy. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable.

The location of the apartment is right in the heart of the old city centre and is absolutely perfect for a city-break vacation in Bordeaux. The central attractions, main shopping street, countless restaurants, two grocery stores and even the biggest farmer's market are all located within easy walking distance. If you have a car, as we did, then the owner's off-street parking garage just under the apartment (included in the rental) is also a big plus.

Finally, Henry was an absolutely superb host. He personally met us both at check-in and again upon check-out. He graciously spent time when we arrived to point out on a city map the highlights for touring, dining and shopping. All his recommendations that we visited were spot on (btw: the nearby boulangerie he recommended has amazing croissants!). And when we had a question during our stay, he replied by sms within the hour. In other words, he is very hospitable and responsive to the needs of his guests. And for those of us who don't speak French, it is nice to know that Henry's English is excellent.

I guess the most telling review I can give is to say that if we return to Bordeaux in the future, we will certainly book this same apartment with Henry once again.
