We had a lovely long weekend in Thierry's beautiful flat, very spacious and elegant, with a lovely airy feel. The weather was very hot while we where there (35 degrees at times) but we were always comfortable. The front of the apartment is north facing with high ceilings and beautiful big windows (with pretty views over roof tops and along the street), so you can get a nice breeze coming in, and the rear of the property has A/C.
The place is really well kitted out with everything you could need for a fine stay in Bordeaux. My favourite evening was the one we spent sitting out on the little terrace with a wonderful supper of all sorts of picnicy food from http://olivier-traiteur.fr/ there is also a baker and green grocer plus a Carrefour in the same place (at Grande Hommes). As we were there over the weekend the bedroom near the front can be a bit noisy from the bustle of the street below with its selection of bars and restaurants so take earplugs if you are a light sleeper, the back two rooms are v quiet though. Overall, great central location and a beautiful place... ps we were given nice welcome from his assistant how left us maps and there is also a book wth visitor recommendation for restaurants etc. Thierry also let us leave our bags on the landing as our flight was in the evening and the check out was is 12.00, many thanks! ops we booked our taxi to the airport via Thierry's recommendation Tele Taxi +335 56 96 00 34 which was excellent. All good!
