My wife and a couple of friends used Cristina's loft in central Bordeaux to be our home base for our trip to France's wine country. I couldn't imagine a more perfect stay - we really lucked out on choosing to stay at Cristina's. It is a beautifully decorated loft space right in the heart of the city. It is conveniently located on the edge of Bordeaux's old town, a short walk to anything you'd want to see, do, or eat. As we drove a car, it was also quite close to parking. Just outside the front door are great restaurants and superb shopping. Perhaps the only downside to Cristina's place is that it's a 4th floor walk-up (as to be expected in historic buildings).
