How to start... we loved this place! :-) We usually go for cheaper, but this time it did not work out and we were happy, because we got to stay at Lea's! The apartment is located in walking distance from Victoire, which has a direct connection (bus nr 1) to the train station and airport. It is just a few steps far from Rue St Catherine, which is a loooooong shopping street. Every main attraction of Bordeaux is in walking distance - all together ***** location. However this is not what we liked the most. It was the apartment itself: 1) VERY clean, very tastefully decorated, looked completely new, 2) comes with everything you need - fully equipped kitchen (even oil, salt, spices, tea coffee are available), bed linens, towels, toilet paper, soap... 3) it's spacious (and this means a lot in France ;-)) - good size bedroom, good size bathroom, big living room with kitchen corner, 4) it's quiet (how is it possible when you are so centrally located?? I don't know :-)). Plus we were grateful for the window blinds in the bedroom that blocked light even during the day very well. On the top of everything: check-in (done by a friend) was smooth, fast and hence appreciated as we reached in the evening.
For some people, the downside can be stairs that you have to climb to reach the apartment - but honestly, if you are not moving furniture or if you do not have 50kg bag or if you are not old or completely out of shape, it is just a piece of cake. :-)
I wish, we will be able to come back to the same apartment next time we are in Bordeaux.
