We weren't sure about the location when we booked, but actually it was ideal. It is closer to the airport than the city centre, so the taxi is cheaper if you are arriving on a late flight (self check-in for late arrivals). It’s in a VERY quiet, sleepy suburb, so you can have a restful time away from the city, or you can take a short walk to the bus stop and catch the 24 bus to Bordeaux centre. The public transport system is modern and easy to use.
The accommodation itself is clean and uncluttered, with a modern design. The kitchen area is equipped to prepare a proper meal and there is a small supermarket within walking distance if you don’t feel like leaving Pessac. There is a decent shower in the en suite and an empty wardrobe to unpack your clothes. Everything was clean and tidy. We would stay here again.
