The apartment was very clean, spacious and in a very quiet neighborhood. There are convenient stores and a McDonald's not far away. However, to get to the city center you can either walk (20-25 min) or bike (10-15 min). The train station is also a 20 min walk or a bus ride (5 -10 min). Although it seemed it was a bit far away from the city center, it gave us an opportunity to relax and be away from the bustling of the city. Nicolas checked in on us a at least once a day to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely recommend to friends who wish to visit Bordeaux in the future.
