Such an easy review to write: 5/5. Louis welcomed us with great charm. He walked us to a parking spot on the street for the night. He showed us the charming apartment and provided a 30-minute briefing on Bordeaux sites, complete with tourist map and really helpful recommendations on how (and when) to get to some of our planned activities. Louis made sure we knew how to make coffee. He showed us the kitchen utensils and provided several food basics as well as some treats to get us going. He also called a cab for us for the last day and stuck his head out the window to make sure the cab showed up for us.
Louis’s building is brilliantly located on the edge of the prime area full of restaurants and tourist sites. The unit is up a couple of flights of stairs with a small lounge/kitchen, two bedrooms and loft, as well as a bathroom with bathtub and shower with plenty of towels, soap, hairdryer, etc. Effective air conditioning! Beds seemed closer to doubles (not queens) and quality was fine. This unit was one of several units that Louis rents out in the building. Louis made sure to let us know he was available during our stay to provide any help we might need. This would absolutely be our first choice the next time we visit Bordeaux!
