Both Julian & Helen are very gracious hosts, took the time to show us the apartment, then even drove us around to see the main highlights of the city and park our car in a spot that is free just a few blocks away. The apartment is located in a great spot being just feet from the Tram Line, Bus Stops and a bike rental location. If you can, bicycles are a fun way to see the city – we rented them for a couple days – kids loved it, and they are very inexpensive. By bicycle you are in the heart of the city in under 5-10 minutes, same with the Tram once you get on. The Tram runs every 10 minutes or less – buses run all day long right by the apartment (some buses are louder than others….)

The apartment has a well equipped kitchen (and frig….), two nice bedrooms (not 3) a shower, a tub and a toilet, all located apart from each other, toilet being on the main floor while the tub and shower on the bedroom floor. The apartment is large enough for 4 people (5 on the pull out bed). If you want to move right into a Bordeaux apartment that literally looks and feels like there are people living with you, then you’ve got it here. Personal effects are everywhere.

Living room has a TV with some local channels (but we didn’t come to watch TV) – house internet just fine. Many restaurants and shops located just a block away in the Chartrons square. Excellent location to be in Bordeaux!

Helen answered texts within minutes and speaks fluent English if you are English speaking. Very helpful with any details concerning where to go and what to do! Excellent Host.
