There were several unfortunate factors going on with this Airbnb that made us decide to leave early. We wouldn’t stay again and wouldn’t recommend this place considering everything below.
The most noticeable issue was the ant problem. Upon arrival we noticed they had little ant catcher devices scattered around the house. About an hour after being in the apartment, we had ants crawling all over our floors. Not just a few - but a lot! We ended up needing to vacuum 3-4 times a day just to keep the ants at bay while there. We even got ant bites in the night! We were majorly concerned about our baby sleeping on the floor in his pack n’ play. We brought up the ant issue with the host and no direct response was provided. That’s when we decided to cut our stay in half! Not sure if the ants are just a seasonal problem or if this is year-round.
Our next issue (at no fault of the Airbnb) was the noise from the street below. It’s a total party street only open to pedestrians. The parties didn’t wind down until 3 or 4am and we didn’t sleep well most nights. If you are in Bordeaux to participate in the nightlife, this might not be an issue for you.
On top of all of that, the apartment hasn’t been well maintained and seems to be falling apart from all of the guest use. The balcony pictured is covered in bird poop making it not even worth enjoying.
Overall, we do not recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful stay in Bordeaux.
