Stayed at Mel's for one night this week and I have to say he really knows how to take of his guests. A well appointed studio where all the right details were taken care of. Might as well have been an upscale hotel! Mel was kind and sweet to deal with. The apartment is in a relatively nondescript building but once inside it was well done and with beautiful night views towards the city center. Super convenient to the Gare de Bordeaux St Jean. Loved it.
