The apartment is ideally located in central Bordeaux and is very clean. (However some of the kitchen items, such as the coffee maker, appeared to not have been used for a long time). Cathy was extremely responsive and timely about checkin and checkout. It should be noted that the unit is about 3 flights up without elevator but worth it if you like that quiet and lofty feel a top floor unit provides. One downside was the barrier protecting the loft bed space was loose, which Cathy alerted us to upon arrival. We appreciated her transparency. Also, we were oddly interrupted by her neighbor at 10pm asking us to turn off the lights in the downstairs bedroom. We altered Cathy who responded immediately.
