We had a great stay in Laurence and Jean-Michel’s apartment. Great location in the heart of the historic district of Bordeaux, and coordinating arrival/picking up keys from Laurence was seamless. They had lots of great resources (maps, guidebooks, etc.) for visitors and although the studio was small, it had everything we needed, and was clean and uncluttered. The street the apartment is on is not too busy, so normally I think it wouldn’t be so loud, but our timing for the stay wasn’t the best—the drunken soccer fans at the pub below (the European soccer championships were in Bordeaux that week) as well as the early-morning construction at the building across the way sometimes made it hard to sleep.
