The Salamander is a beautiful apartment. It has three well-appointed bedrooms upstairs that are private, sizeable, comfortable and allow for lots of storage. The bathroom is very cool, with his and hers basins, a claw-foot bath, good lighting and a walk in shower. There were plenty of clean, fresh towels and there is a hairdryer in the drawer if you don’t have one with you.
Downstairs is just as cool. It’s spacious with a proper lounge, dining area, great WiFi, TV, a shell lined, private outdoor courtyard with seating and a petit-yet-functional kitchen.
Christine was amazing to deal with; fast, accurate and pleasant communication and even left us some goodies in the form of food to make the stay even easier. She knew the trip was part of our honeymoon and kindly provided us with a wee bottle of red wine.
The place is in a great spot in Bordeaux, only 10 minutes walk over the bridge into town, close to the tram and the ferry, or hire a bike and cruise straight down either side of the Garonne to get to places like La Cite du Vin.
This is where we would stay if we ever went back to Bordeaux. Thanks Christine!
