Helene had excellent communication, leaving me detailed checkin (I was arriving very late) and check out information. Some information on Bordeaux was on the side, everything was neat, I especially enjoyed the coffee machine.
Unfortunately I arrived about 11pm in the area and personally I didn’t feel comfortable in the Capuchin area (young female solo traveller). At first it was daunting that the property has a metal gate over the door, but this actually made me feel safe and secure! As soon as you walk to the Saint Michael direction it’s like a different neighbourhood and it’s lovely.
For the price the apartment is okay, Helene has furnished it well, fan, AC, washing machine, etc. I didn’t use the patio as people could look down on you and I didn’t want that. Some odd noises come from the bathroom and as there’s no windows or vents in there the smell can be very damp. The apartment is sometimes noisy (with the windows shut) you can hear people and sometimes the nearby bars but this quietened down around 11/12pm.
This is a very honest review and coming from someone who was travelling alone! Helene was fantastic and the apartment is fine for somewhere to sleep and have a quick bite.
