I really liked that this apartment was located in a quieter neighborhood on a residential street, but was close to several main bus routes and was a direct bus ride from the train station. It was a quick 15 min walk to get to the city center (less time by bus). Place des Martyrs & Basilique Saint Seurin are just a block or two away, with a pharmacy, patisserie, cafe, & bank all very near.
Didier, the host, was extremely helpful at communicating how the check-in process and everything in the apartment worked. He answered all my questions very quickly both before and during my stay, and was kind enough to provide directions by bus from the train station. The neighborhood and street felt very safe and the apartment and building were very secure.
The apartment is nicely arranged for a small space. The bed was genuinely comfortable, the shower was great, and I liked that there was ample closet & shelf storage space in the bedroom. The place was very clean.
I stayed here during an unseasonably warm week in May when temperatures were over 90°F/33°C. I mainly spent time here during the evenings and early morning, but the solar shades and fan the host provided kept the apartment reasonably cool. Sleeping was comfortable despite the heat.
Didier was an excellent and communicative host and the apartment was a really nice place to stay for a week in Bordeaux.
