We stayed in Antoine's place for four nights on our mini-moon, in January. We could not have chosen a better location to stay in. It's so close to great restaurants, bars and nightlife and Antoine was a wonderful host and gave us loads of local information and recommendations – not to mention a lovely bottle of wine! He also booked a taxi for us when we were leaving. In January, Bordeaux was very cold but the heating in the apartment was great. It's a cosy space, three flights up, but if you are tall, note that the ceiling height in the bedroom area and in the bath/shower is very low and you may not be able to stand up fully. For short stays though, it's definitely manageable. The apartment is within easy walking distance of tram stops and we'd recommend taking the tram to go to La Cité du Vin and explore the excellent museum before enjoying a glass and the views from the top.
