We stayed from July 30 to August 4, 2018. That is to say we arrived on Monday and left on Saturday. Saturdays are market day, so no cars allowed even load or unload in front of apartment. There is a parking near by, seems like pay parking, at the side of church, and my husband parked there for few minutes while I run and return the keys and car park card. That car park she provides was a secured basement parking, very near and so convenient, like 5 minuets walk. But the entrance to the parking is very tricky. Don’t believe rented car’s GPS. The person who checked us in, a young nice lady, asked us to type car park name and follow GPS, which led us to Victor Hugo street and turn right at narrow one way road. If you do that, you’ll have to make a sharp u-turn to enter parking in narrow street. The best way is to go around the whole church even it’s a detour and come out to riverside from the back of church, but at stop light, instead of crossing, make a left turn, which is a narrow one way going into parking. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and it had all the basic necessities. And thanks to Julie who provided liquid mosquito pesticide beside our bed, because there are quite many of them coming in from 4th floor (in Europe it’s 3rd floor), and for my daughter who was sleeping near the window, I closed all the windows after she got bitten a lot on first night. I didn’t transfer our liquid pesticide thinking about side effects on her. Location is so great, nearer to everything including most of trams. House was spotlessly clean so we could walk beat foot. My husband hated long winding stairs but I love stairs and enjoyed them. But if one of family members is not for long stairs, it should be a consideration because we left all the liquor bottles because my husband didn’t want to climb back the stairs to double check if we left something. And by chance, parking elevators were out of order, and car was at basement 4. Another thing to consider is the summer heat in Bordeaux. We came to Paris afterward, and Paris heat was nothing compared to Bordeaux. Most museums and churches close at 18:00, but hottest hours during summer is noon to 20:00. When we were there, temperature was 37 Celsius even at 20:00, and there were no air conditioner. Because of that, heat remains in bed during night time, so sleeting was very hard due to heat even with electric fan. On contrary I guess during winter Julie’s apartment is cozy and warm because it retains heat. It’s an disadvantage to any house in Bordeaux not to have air conditioner. So it’s not Julie’s fault that Bordeaux is super hot, and her apartment could turn like heated yoga classroom, and we couldn’t leave the house since outside...
