This apartment is a great location in Bordeaux, close to the great public garden where my kids and I went often, and various museums and attractions. We walked everywhere but there was a tram in the square super convenient to use. Even though there was construction next door the apartment was quiet with the windows closed. It is not a non-smoking apartment, as we thought. But the kitchen had what we needed for a few days stay, and although the air conditioning is not central, but in certain rooms, we were grateful for it because it was during a heat wave.
