Laura was a very accommodating host and her flat is beautiful. It is located only 20 minutes' walk or a short bus journey from the city centre. There is a supermarket directly opposite. Although she was unable to greet us in person her instructions for traveling to the flat were clear and precise, so we had no trouble finding it or travelling to the city from the airport (by bus number 1 and then a 15 minute walk). She made us feel very welcome. Merci Laura!
Despite the building being by a busy road the flat is quiet, and the bedroom is located at the rear of the property overlooking a garden, so is quieter still, and very cool in the heat of Bordeaux. It was very comfortable.
Bordeaux and its environs are stunning. We had a lovely 10 days exploring the city and surrounding area, including Arcachon, Cap Ferret and St Emilion. The museums in Bordeaux are excellent, and the air conditioning in them helped a lot!!!
All in all, a wonderful holiday!
