The appartment is spacious, bright, warm, very well equipped, quiet, and well situated. It had everything I needed, and was perfect for me for my stay of 10 weeks. Also, I had my car with me so it was especially useful to have the parking space in the garage below the appartment. This is important in the central region of Bordeaux because there is very little availability of parking on streets. Nearby there is a medium size supermarket as well as several specialist shops including cheese, bakery, butcher, and some cafe's. There is a fantastic restaurant, La Brasserie du Sud Ouest, nearby too. I used the city cycle system (VCub) which has a base near the appartment and is the most convenient way to get around the city. But there are buses very near, and the tram is about 15 minutes walk. Last, but just as important!, the owner, Jeanne, is delightful, friendly and very very helpful. I have only positive things to say about this appartment, my stay was perfect.
