This is an AMAZING apartment! It is in the heart of the old Bordeaux district...and yes, you must climb up some grotty stairs to get to the apartment, but once you open the door to the apartment, it is a breath of fresh air! It is beautifully decorated in a chic antique style that is absolutely gorgeous! It is the largest airbnb apt I've stayed in in France. The apartment was well-equipped and Fred was wonderfully communicative. I would highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Bordeaux!
