The apartment is situated in a building that has been renovated completely but retains its old world charm. It is very safe (with a camera at the entrance), clean, discrete, charming, and well decorated. The same can be said for the studio-exactly like the photos and very clean.
Where it falls short is the neighborhood unfortunately; which I blame the city of Bordeaux.
The positive aspects are that it is very central, everything you need is around you, it is an easy 20 minute direct walk from the train station and many attractions. However as a woman traveling alone I felt very unsafe many times and was sexually harassed on the street many times, not to mention the sheer amount of people panhandling. I never saw one police officer and the streets are littered with trash continually.
Bordeaux is a gorgeous city, and this host and apartment are winners, but I suggest to anyone visiting to be vigilant in this neighborhood.
Thank you for having me Alatz.
