This is a very nice and comfortable apartment for visiting Bordeaux. Agnes is a very kind host who responded quickly to any queries. A number of maps and brochures were available to help with planning your visit. Perhaps the best feature of the apartment is its balcony where you can sit in the evening with a glass of wine and some cheese and watch the sun go down. There is also a nearby Carrafour store which stays open until 10pm apart from Sunday when it closes at midday.
Although you can walk into the centre of Bordeaux in about half an hour, there are nearby buses that take you there in about ten minutes. The No.1 airport to Bordeaux Gare St Jean bus passes about 400 metres from the apartment and I strongly recommend buying at the airport (or elsewhere) a 7 day bus and tram pass (about 14 euros per person). With this, you can travel around Bordeaux without further cost. The transport system is very good with frequent buses and trams. Sometimes they are very crowded but this is part of the visitor experience.
