Excellent stay at Louis' apartment. He's turned his dream into a beautiful reality. The entire building has a very homey and welcoming atmosphere. If I created an ideal place to live in Bordeaux (or anywhere) it would look just like this. Our apartment had several rooms and a loft, each with comfortable beds and tons of pillows, and there were lovely towels and thick bath robes (ahhh!!!), soft rugs, light-dimming shades, a nice big hot water heater, lots of hooks to hang clothes and towels, a heated towel rack, skylight windows, fast Wifi, and a million nice touches like quality shampoos and soaps, little extras in the bathroom and kitchen, tasteful art, a kitchen apron, snacks, juices and cereals, and even a bottle of local wine. In addition, the price was beyond fair, we almost felt guilty for not paying more for what we got! Louis was really friendly and helpful and we enjoyed meeting his wife, and because he's bilingual and very knowledgeable about the area we got the most out of our stay in this part of France. When someone loves what they're doing it shows so clearly - thank you for a great week Louis and Anne!
