Gregory’s apartment is situated in the very heart of Bordeaux’s old town – step out the door, and you’re in the heart of the action: buzzing nightlife, excellent restaurants, and plenty of bars and glacieries. It’s an easy ten minute walk to most of Bordeaux’s sights. We stayed five nights and fell in love with Bordeaux. The apartment’s building is rustic and beautiful, a little taste of Old France. The interior is quirky, the wi-fi good, and the kitchen is compact with basic amenities – not enough if you’re planning to self-cater, but fine as there’s so much good food and drink on your doorstep. The main bedroom is noisy at night as it overlooks the main thoroughfare; not a problem unless you’re a light sleeper, so just be aware. The second bed is a sofa bed which has perhaps seen better days.

We had a fantastic time in Bordeaux, in a authentic apartment, and can’t wait to visit again.
