It was a great start, Xavier welcomed us promptly and with so much information. We were able to get situated quickly. We went to a restaurant he commended and felt like a local. The location of the apartment is right off a square, so plenty to eat and drink. The location was perfect for exploring the riverside and the center of town. The apartment was roomy and comfy and what we expected. We would gladly stay there again. Thanks to Xavier for a home in Bordeaux!
