Christine was a wonderful host and was incredibly helpful and accomodating. Her suggestion to visit Chartrons market was appreciated- we had breakfast at a casual cafe in the market that served exceptional bread and pâté.
The place is very close to Place des Victoires and walking distance from central Bordeaux. The apartment is ground level, a studio, with a small kitchen and much of what you'd need if your mostly out and about. It is on a main road so it can be noisy on the weekend evenings but not unbearable and it didn't prevent us from a sound sleep.
