romain greeted us personally and let us leave our luggage at the flat before check-in time. made sure we were all set up with our environs and explained the area/apartment/etc...made us feel very welcome.

he also invited us to have a drink with him and his wife in their beautiful apartment the first night we were in bordeaux, which was SO kind of him. what a wonderful experience.

the apartment is in a good location - walking distance to main shopping areas, the waterfront, and the main church. if you stay here, you MUST be OK with staying in an older apartment. it has a lot of beautiful character but the rooms are not renovated/modern/etc...so you have to keep this in mind when booking this flat :)
