Mikael is an excellent host! He makes you feel welcome immediately with a lovely hamper of French treats, teas, and coffees. His apartment is in an excellent area of Bordeaux - peaceful but close to restaurants, pharmacies, mini markets, boulangeries, etc. It's also a short walk away from the Jardin Public. I experienced this apartment when I had a foot injury and I can therefore add it's friendly for people who have disabilities - for example, there is a spacious elevator that takes you to the apartment. I seriously appreciated the interior design and I loved the balcony that overlooks a beautiful tree. Every morning I'd have my breakfast on the balcony and watch the sun shine through the leaves as I'd listen to the birds singing. Mikael's apartment has everything you need to feel at home - including a big TV (I miss that TV!) set up with a Netflix account in your language. The kitchen is equipped with all you need, heating works, there's a washing machine, etc. I'm definitely planning to visit this lovely and cosy apartment again!
