Transportation options between Boston and Bordeaux meant we had to arrive at Merignac airport hours before the apartment’s published check-in time. Henry was very accommodating, gave us his number so I could text him when our plane landed, and then met us at the apartment when we arrived by taxi. He had coffee, staples, canales, and red wine to welcome us. Henry showed us around this extraordinary and unique apartment and told us about its history and restoration. He then provided us with maps and brochures to orient us to local amenities, walkable restaurants, and the tram system for getting to more distant sites and points of interest. Finally, Henry made evening dinner reservations for us at a very popular, hard-to-book restaurant. It was amazing. The neighborhood is well-located within the central core of Bordeaux, near groceries, bakeries, coffee shops, wine bars, bookstores, and the Marche des Capucins. I highly recommend this accommodation.
