The host was very warm and welcoming. She was always available by text to answer all my questions during my entire stay. The apartment is even better than in the photos. It was very luxurious and well maintained. The nice thing about this apartment is that the owner did not live here so you don't have personal clutter. The apartment is professionally cleaned and the sheets were all pressed and high quality, gave me the feeling of being in a luxury hotel suite except you pay way less per night. One thing I wanted to mention is that the bed is extra, extra firm. I like firm beds but this is a new level of firm for me. My husband and I were struggling as we are not used to that but on the last night, we learned that if we double up on the pillows and slept on top of the comforter, it was a bit more comfortable. The kitchen was very nice, it has all the basic things you need to cook or reheat meals. There were plenty of space in the fridge and freezer should you want to stock up. To get to the city center, it is a 30 minute walk or less than 10 minutes by car. Bordeaux has limited Uber drivers - I think something about the city regulations so if you are lucky enough to get one, they want you to sit in the front to make it seem like they are picking up a friend and not a customer. There are also bikes across the street that you can rent using your credit card. It's perfect to use to see the city. It was raining during my time in Bordeaux so I didn't get to use it. If you want to do wine tours, I highly recommend hiring a chauffeur. We hired Transferts Excursions which gave us tours around Bordeaux, many vineyards and nearby towns and they charge per day, not per person and included the car at 370 euros (they allow up to 7 people). My overall experience was very good. I would recommend this place to my family and friends. If I go back to Bordeaux, I would rent again.
