The location is really excellent for shops and restaurants, and it’s surprisingly quiet at night considering the bustling area. It’s great to be on the ground floor, however bear in mind that this means the windows open onto the street, so opening the shutters completely exposes the apartment to passers by. The shower is excellent and has a huge rainfall head and the kitchen is well equipped. The lounge area has lots of nice seating, but can be a little dark. The terrace is too popular with local pigeons to be inviting and we didn’t use it at all. The apartment wasn’t as clean as we would like, although the linen and towels were spotless, and Caroline was very nice when we got in touch to mention it. All in all, a great base to explore Bordeaux from and really convenient for trams and sightseeing.
