We had a fantastic stay at Denis' flat. Perfect size for a couple. Brilliant location. Fairly lively area in terms of bars so there is a bit of crowd noise but not really any music noise and it didn't go on beyond about 11pm. It is an ideal area for 20 to 30 somethings to stay. Loads of restaurants nearby but do book well in advance if you want to go to the fine dining restaurants. We hired a car and drove out to Pauillac seeing all the beautiful chateaux on the way. Bordeaux is a beautiful city and rue Sainte Colombe is the perfect base to see it from. Denis was really helpful and the flat was immaculately clean and well equipped. Great value too.
