This is a fantastic flat in the heart of Bordeaux with a balcony looking on to the street below. The flat is on the first floor and is accessed via steps (no lift as it is an old building) The flat is ingeniously laid out with a kitchen/ sitting room below and a 'boxed in', glass panelled mezzanine area above with a study area/ sofa and a very cosy, quiet bedroom space. The flat was clean and tidy and had good kitchen facilities. The only thing that would improve it would be a kettle and coffee making facilities (there was one of those 'pod' coffee machines but they can be fiddly and the pods hard to buy!) We loved being able to just pop out of the flat and be instantly in the middle of the city and all the action. Geoffrey was a very helpful host - we met up with him to collect the keys - and he was also flexible about allowing us to leave our bags in the flat for a while beyond the check out time on our last day. We'd really recommend this flat for anyone looking to explore the beautiful city of Bordeaux.
