Cathy and her husband were very welcoming and gave us tips on nice restaurants in the area that we otherwise wouldn't have tried. The apartment is well stocked with books and magazines about Bordeaux. It is also thoughtfully stocked with amenities like salt, pepper, coffee and sugar which is much appreciated especially for short stays. The apartment itself was impeccably clean and well-decorated. The only drawback was that all the noise from the street went on very late and we couldn't sleep well, but that goes with the location which is fantastic and very central. I would definitely stay there again and recommend this to friends and family.
