A five-star stay! I booked this place for the entire duration of summer and it was just lovely. For a long-haul stay, it was very well-equipped. The kitchen has everything you need from crockery to utensils, extra bedding and towels were also provided, and the storage room also held quite a few treasures like a vacuum, mop, iron, yoga mat, and even a foam roller! The configuration of the toilet was a little strange because of the steps up to the bathtub, but you get used to it after a while.
The location of the apartment is a genuine prized possession. It's in the heart of town but tucked just a couple of streets away so the hustle and bustle won't get to you. It's located a 5minute walk away from a tram stop - Gambetta (Line B), and a stone's throw away from the main shopping street - Rue Sainte Catherine. Tons of museums and cathedrals nearby to visit as well! You also have a wide selection of restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores around you.
A few things I had to get used to was all the steps up to the apartment and even once in the apartment, another flight of stairs greet you, but nevertheless, it didn't dull the charm of the home. Another thing was the heat in the apartment during summer, but that was expected since it's on the top floor.
Virginie is a great host! She's very accommodating and knowledgeable. She was ever-ready to share information with me upon arrival like where to get my transport card and what I could do around the area.
I don't regret staying here and if I ever decide to visit Bordeaux again, I'd check this apartment's availability first!
