Great location, not the best stay. I booked this apartment because my family came to visit me in Bordeaux (where I’ve been studying abroad) during the holidays. When I first saw where the exact location was after booking, I became very excited because it’s in a great part of town. However after check in we started to notice things that weren’t ideal. First we were told that we could only sleep on the big bed upstairs in the loft or the downstairs sofa bed. After messaging the host he told me I could used the floor mattress in the loft too so that wasn’t a problem. However there weren’t enough clean sheets for all of the beds so I had to wash the dirty ones that were already in the washer. I booked the apartment for 4 people and there were only two towels left so I had to go to my host family’s house across town to get the two towels I bought during the semester. There also weren’t any hand towels, there was only half a spool of toilet paper and no paper towels. In addition the bathroom has quite an odor that I believe is coming from the shower drain.
With all the negative things aside, the place has its own little private deck, the washer is great because it’s a washer/dryer two in one and the apartment is overall pretty nice. It’s hard to beat the location of this apartment and Bordeaux is a lovely city so you shouldn’t be spending too much time inside anyway. If the owner is able to change the things that were wrong with my booking then this will become a great place to stay!
Have fun in Bordeaux!
