We stayed with a family of two adults and two teenagers. The apartment is close to the center and we walked every day (although public transport is easy) but it is in a developing area with many buildings/streets in bad shape. The apartment is in a newly refurbished building (partially some stuff needs to be made like the pave way, but nothing dramatic) that offers everything you need and is well equipped (has no elevator but is 2nd level only) - we would have loved to have an air condition. The apartment becomes quite hot during the day. There is a fan but does not really cool down. Leaving the windows open is not an option as the district is close to several bars and there is noise from people walking, talking, singing during the night. If windows are closed than you hear nothing, but it will be very hot as there is no way to cool down the apartment. We used the garage which is important in this area and parking in Bordeaux is not easy. An SUV could get problems with the size of the garage. We have a Mercedes E class sedan that only had 5-10 cm left and right with folded mirrors. Otherwise as said you have everything you need in the apartment and have a super market and bakery nearby.
