Marie’s flat was perfect location for our 4 day stay in Bordeaux. 15-20minute walk to restaurants. 2minute walk to the main shopping street, so access to lots of shops, cafes, bakeries, supermarkets, etc. Tram station 3minute walk from flat. Even though it’s located in the student area right near the university, the flat was very sound proof, we couldn’t hear any outside noise. We didn’t have any direct communication with Marie herself, her friend Alatz text us to organise check-in - he was lovely and very responsive, but it also would have been nice to hear from the host herself as we had no idea who Alatz was! Bed was super comfy, a fan was provided which was great as it was quite warm. Nespresso coffee machine & pods also provided which was lovely.
Some things to consider:
- The flat is on the second story, and the stairs to the flat are very steep and narrow.
- The bedroom is on the mezzanine level, and is also up an extremely narrow and steep spiral staircase.
- The bedroom ceiling is not very high, so tall people will have to duck (we are 5’10 and heads were scraping the ceiling)
All in all though, great value for money. For the location, we would absolutely stay again. Thanks!
