The flat was exactly as it appeared in the pictures - beautiful tall doors and windows, very light and airy, with a fabulous balcony. It’s location was superb - right in the heart of the old part with a huge variety of cafes and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. There was also an excellent supermarket two mins walk away. It was a lovely vibrant area which will obviously result in more noise than in a more residential area but this was only very noticeable if sleeping in the sitting room - if I returned to Bordeaux I would only want to stay here again!
