If you stay here don't try and drive to it. It is a pedestrian only mall. We weren't told this and wasted a lot of time and energy (not to mention the stress of navigating the inner city of Bordeaux) trying to solve this and ultimately parked in a station nearby and walked. By the time we had checked in, transferred bags and then the car to the correct parking station it took about 2.5 hours. When I asked our host why he didn't tell me this (he knew we were driving) he said 'because you didn't ask'! Otherwise it is a huge apartment, somewhat old and maybe a bit run down (a few lights didn't work), but we found it charming and perfect for our family. Great location on the main shopping street close to everything.
