Christian's place is perfect for a visit to Bordeaux! Though it is not actually in the city centre, the tram stops literally in front of the apartment and will take you to the centre in ten minutes for € 1,60. You can also walk there in about twenty minutes, and visit the impressive grave yard just across the street (with a monument for Goya, who was burried there) and the church of Saint Bruno, which has an amazing baroque altar with sculptures by father (and son?) Bernini. As to the apartment itself: it is sparkling clean and comfortable, with a tv that gives you netflix and a lot more. Good beds, a good shower. Though you might hear the tram during the day, the nights were exceptionally quiet. The area itself is nice enough. There is a small supermarket just down the street and we discovered a tiny market with fresh fruit and bread on saturday morning on the little square across the street.
