The apartment is beautiful and in an excellent location. It is close to shopping, coffee shops, and restaurants! Everything is in walking distance. The apartment is inside a courtyard/plaza that has shops (including grocery), restaurants and a beautiful water feature. At night the plaza is gated at each of the three entrances making it feel very safe. The key to the apartment building unlocks the gates if you come after hours. I would recommend this property to anyone staying in downtown Bordeaux. You will love it!
