Xavier’s apartment was exactly as described. Bright, clean, comfortable.
The location was fantastic for touring the old centre of Bordeaux. It is just off the longest pedestrian mall in France, minutes from Place de la Bourse with its reflecting pool, in a student friendly neighbourhood. Everything is easily walkable. The transport system is also very good. There are even restaurants right across the street.
Xavier provides lots of suggestions on where to find great bakeries and breakfast spots along with dinner places and suggestions of things to do.
If you want to watch media that’s not in French be sure to bring your iPad or laptop as TV is in French only.
I would stay here again in an instant.
