Rarely does an airbnb experience match expectation - this is THE listing to choose. If you want to visit Bordeaux, look no further. Antoine was an impeccable host, firstly accommodating my (mistakenly) earlier arrival time by coming to meet us, kindly helping us with our bags (there are 4 flights of stairs no lift and we had some serious luggage) and taking the time to show us a map of the local area. He even went to the trouble of making us a dinner reservation on our behalf for our last night - dinner starts very late here 730pm and due to our lack of the French language had some trouble the first night locating the perfect meal. The apartment is literally in the middle of heaps of nightlife (restaurants set up adorable table and chairs right by the door come evening time) however the apartment was super quiet all the time, perfect for relaxing. Great service and coffee and little shops and of course Bordeaux 18th century old town to explore. We got lost for hours. The apartment was SO clean, was a romantic getaway for a few days, and Antoine kindly gifted us some delicious Bordeaux vin rouge! Merci beaucoup Antoine, you will be a super host in no time!!
