Crystel prepared the appartment perfectly for our stay and we found everything so beautiful and done with care, love and good taste. The area was beautiful, right in the heart of the old town - in the evening you had a little noise from the Cafè down the road, but it was not a real problem - but of course this can be subject to individual perceptions of "noise" so i would just mentioned it as additional info su people are not surprised. The parking lot is right in the neighbourhood, less than 5 minutes walk away. This was very comfortable. Only on our arrival we could not bring our bags directly in front of the appartment but this was not a huge problem, we did not bring so much luggage with us. I would recommend this place anytime, unless somebody has problems to walk or to take steps and for somebody who is extremely delicate with noise...(in this case the noise of the voices of the people in the little bar downstairs - but it is really nothing dramatic!). Crystal filled the refrigerator with something to drink, butter, homemade jam, yoghurt and even milk. A selection of fine tea and espresso was there, the water kettle, toaster, espresso machine.. full equiped kitchen! It was overwhelming! Everything was refined and in line with what Crystel presents on her page. I had a perfect time in Bordeaux and would always go back to stay in this appartment! PS: the balcony is really tiny, but it is big enough for 2 people to sit there and enjoy the nice atmosphere of the old town and to sit outside.
