Cathy's apartment is located in a wonderful part of Bordeaux - close to many cafes and restaurants and a nice boulangerie. Cathy met us at the apartment, showed us around, and answered all of the questions we had. I do speak French, which made things easier. The beds were comfortable and the shower, however small, had lots of hot water. The kitchen was missing some essential tools - investing in a proper kitchen knife and some wooden spoons would really improve the experience. Aside from that, we enjoyed our time in Cathy's apartment.
