This apartment is right in the middle of the old city. It is a lively area with good restaurants. You are also close to the scenic harbor park and we had a great time cycling along it and looking at the shops, etc. The Apartment had everything we needed and it felt cozy. It is a walk-up, but we enjoyed the old- world charm of the historic stone staircase. From the bedroom in the duplex upstairs you have a marvelous view of church towers and some of the skyline of Bordeaux. Our host was excellent and gave us very helpful info about restaurants and things to do. We felt very welcome and recommend Antoine's place to others.
