Nice flat in a lively district, within walking distance of the town centre and with a Vcub bike station just down the road, this was by far the best way to get around the city.
Although some buildings in the street are being refurbished, the double-glazing cuts out the noise. Having the market right on your doorstep is great for sampling local delicacies and adds colour to a vibrant if somewhat shabbier part of Bordeaux that is soon to be gentrified just like the rest.
The apartment itself is very comfortable, everything works and we were warmly welcomed by our hosts. Perhaps adding a few finishing touches would make it just perfect.
