The apartment, located right around the corner from Le Marche des Capucins (an area full of activity) is small, but very safe, quiet and comfortable. Marianne and Stephane have been very helpful and even have their own little guide page to help you get started.
Everything in Bordeaux seems to be in a walking distance. The apartment is within a five minute walk to Place Victoria, the Saint Michele neighbored and a 3 stop bus ride or a 15 minute walk to the Gare Saint Jean. And while the neighborhoods of Saint Paul and Saint Pierre are wonderful attractions, Saturday at the Capucins market is a special treat. I would definitely go back there to stay.
