XAVIER IS THE BEST HOST WE'VE EVER HAD. Seriously - if you have a chance to stay at Xavier's place then definitely DO IT. I can't believe what an amazing experience this was and we would absolutely stay here again.
Pros:
-Xavier is incredible at communicating via Airbnb app.
-Directions to the place were very clear and easy to understand
-GREAT LOCATION in the center of Bordeaux. Everything is within walking distance!
-Xavier met us at the door and helped us carry our luggage
-The apartment is on the second floor and the walk up the stairs is easy and manageable!
-Apartment is BEAUTIFUL. Lovely decorations and amazing windows that open out onto the street.
-Everything you might need is in this place. Xavier has thought through all the details, including providing fans for when it gets hot, TV, maps, art books, kitchen supplies, etc.
-Xavier drew us an entire route on a map to help us explore Bordeaux. It really made our last night in the city fantastic.
Cons (can't think of many):
- As a girl, I definitely wanted a full-length mirror. There were plenty of other mirrors, however!!
- The street is pretty noisy because of this apartment's central location. The windows do a really good job of blocking most of the sound when closed.
