Xaviers place is in the heart of Bordeaux. It couldn't be better placed. Everything is as you see in the photos. It is very clean and well supplied with consumables. Didn't get to meet Xavier but check in was very easy with the keys being attached to the door in a key safe. We got the airport bus in (Nr 1) cheap as chips and very frequent and easy. We got off at the Palais de Justice and walked in (8-10 mins) rather than get off and then get the tram which is a few minutes less walk. Bordeaux is a great place to walk around (even in the rain). Plenty of good eating within a few minutes of the flat. Places we went are Tanier, La Tupina (set lunch), Embarcadere, Chez Jean-Mi Bistrot A Huites. All reviewed separately on Tripadviser. If you go to Bordeaux then I don't think you will find an better located, clean and value apartment. Many Thanks Xavier.
