Mel is a fantastic host, very thoughtful and helpful and accommodating. Messages were answered quickly and he was able to help arrange a parking spot for us upon request. The apartment is super close to the train station (3 - 5 min walk depending on the traffic light) and only a 20 min walk to the centre of Bordeaux. Mel was even kind enough to walk with us to the train station because we had so many pieces of luggage. The apartment is not very big but there’s more than enough room for a comfortable stay. The bed, although a sofa bed, is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with the basic necessities. Good location, great value, and you can’t ask for a nicer host. Merci Mel!
