We all enjoyed our stay at Simon's place! Great location (easy walk to huge market; convenient for bus stops); well decorated; very clean.
This is not a criticism of Simon or of the apartment, but a note to other families who may be traveling and looking for lodging in Bordeaux: great for infants (pre-crawling) OR older kids; but not exactly 'baby-proofed' for toddlers. There are a lot of exposed/open shelves, which were very much of interest to our daughter - we had to stay on our toes our entire stay to ensure that she didn't get hurt AND that we didn't break anything in Simon's home.
