Wow! This was even better than I expected! A beautiful apartment right at the heart of Bordeaux. We were given access to it by the concierge Sylvain who was lovely and we passed some time chatting with him after he showed us around and explained matters. Later, Guillame came personally to meet us and sorted several queries immediately. He provided a plug converter as I had brought the wrong one with me, He showed me a usb socket for charging my phone on the freeview box and provided extra towels. The bed is amazing as it is 160 cm, so larger than average, which was great as my husband is 6’4’’ and we both found it to be heavenly. We have stayed in many lovely hotels and it is the BEST bed by far! A lovely atmosphere in the apartment with many shops on our doorstep. We went to a bakers each morning and it took less than five minutes to get there, buy the goods and be back indoors. Guillame had also provided us with some essentials ie milk, jam, butter etc to get us started which was a lovely touch. Our departure was late in the evening and Guillame kindly gave us leeway on checking out which made our last day so much more enjoyable! We love cycling and There is even a bike hire shop in the square which we used- Pierre qui roule- and we would recommend if you want to go further afield. There are many velib stations available too for city bikes. There was a row directly opposite the flat but the gardens in the centre of the square are being made even nicer and I don’t know if they are just temporarily removed. It isn’t a problem as they are everywhere. A fabulous apartment in a beautiful city and we intend to return and stay here again.
