Christine was very welcoming when we arrived. She provided a map of Bordeaux and helped us find all the sites we wanted to see and recommended other ideas. She left breakfast for the morning. We were happily surprised that she came in each day when we were touring to make the bed, clean up, and leave new breakfast items. The studio apartment is clean and only two blocks from Place Victoire and the beginning of rue St. Catherine. We thought ground floor would be a disadvantage but the window shutter and door locks were very secure. We would have liked to have a little more upscale neighborhood in Bordeaux but for this location, the facilities and host worked out wonderfully. Excellent internet, air conditioning available also.
