If you’re researching Bordeaux you must bite the bullet and book a stay at Julie’s! Heart of Bordeaux is very accurate, it’s so close to the old quarter which is great to explore restaurants and boutique shopping. We did a day trip to St Emilion which is also a must. There’s so much to do we wish we had stayed longer than 2 nights! The accomodation has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Tip: book a taxi or Uber from the train station for ease of arriving.
