Sandrine was delightful and gave us a very warm welcome. She was very helpful and was a responsive and proactive communicator during and before our stay. The canelle cakes, a Bordeaux speciality, courtesy of Sandrine, were delicious with morning coffee (nespresso machine provided). The apartment is beautiful, elegant and historic, well furnished and within a short walking distance of the centre of Bordeaux and the Chartrons district. The comfortable living room and kitchen both have a bright outlooks on to the leafy Cours de Verdun and french doors that open onto a balcony. The two bedrooms have their windows opening onto the central light well of the building so there was no traffic noise at night. The kitchen is spacious and worked very well and the laundry washing machine and dryer did too. The master bedroom has a very good ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom uses the guest WC in the entrance hall, but otherwise its ensuite bathroom worked well. Beds were very comfortable. Although there are three flights of steps to the apartment, the risers on the steps were not high so it is an easy walk up and down. We would love to stay at Sandrine's apartment again.
