We had a wonderful stay in Julie's apartment- it is large, tastefully decorated and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. And it has Hermès, the cat - whose charm you will succumb to immediately :-)
Julie is a great and very attentive hostess. Communication with her was easy and very sympathetic. We also found it incredibly nice that there was a bottle of wine waiting for us as a welcome gift and that we were allowed to share existing groceries so we didn't have to buy basics like butter, jam etc. A big thanks to Julie for her exceptional hospitality!
As for the location of the apartment, it is a perfect base to explore Bordeaux and its main attractions. It is centrally located, and we found the St. Michel neighborhood itself and it's authentic, multi-cultural and lively atmosphere to be just wonderful. The restaurants, the covered market at the end of the street, the flea market on Saturdays in front of the church of St. Michel, and the many junk and antique stores in the side streets were just to our liking.
We would come back anytime and strongly recommend a stay at Julie's!
