Very good location, lots of bars. restaurants (but you don't hear them so don't worry - even where there was a music festival) - tram is just outside. Easy to walk to the very centre - The Opera House is my landmark for this as the tourist office is there.Furnished well and all appliances are there for you. David is very helpful and responsive . . . which was good to know when making pre travel arrangements. It is on the 5 floor but I am 62 and can do it easy - and after 2 days without a break and it is what you expect for the sort of building anyway. You don't need a car - or put it this way, don't bring it into the centre as parking is hard and expensive. I was working at the Exhibition Hall (Du Lac) so lefty carter and went in by tram.Bordeaux is a great city.
