Tony's flat is really well equipped: coffee machine, kitchen basics, comfortable bed : even hairdryer, iron etc etc. I found it very comfortable and it was a very effective basic hub for a city stay. It is a bit of a walk into town but a walk which is straightforward and feels safe. I enjoy a stroll to wake me up in the morning and walk off a bit of dinner (and why visit Bordeaux other than to eat?!) Being near the Auchan, a grocer and a bakery would be really handy if you are staying for a while and planning to self catering. Parking was problem free. The wee balcony would be fab on a mild morning. The only thing I struggled with was finding a good cuppa locally in the mornings but you can't have everything!
