We really enjoyed our stay in Bordeaux. This was the first time either of us has travelled to this part of France, but it will not be the last. The city is very nice and cozy, offering a great selection of restaurants, bars and sightseeings. We were for new year, but looks like the warmer months of the year will offer a much nicer experience. Also with so many vineyards in the area, another visit is guaranteed. The apartment of Philippe is in a nice, quiet and calm area, however it is within about 20-25 min walking distance from the old city. In addition, there were no stores, cafes, bars, or bakeries in the vicinity, which makes it difficult to simply go out for a breakfast or a small drink - which was bit of a pity when weather was cold or wet. Still, we enjoyed our stay at the apartment very much and would recomend the place to anyone looking for a quiet place in Bordeaux.
