First of all the best thing about this apartment is its location. It is right on the edge of the part of Downtown Bordeaux that is closed to traffic, so if you have a car this is as close as you will get. And speaking of a car, she provides a parking pass to a garage that is only a block away, which was perfect for our side trips that we took to neighboring areas. The apartment itself is dated, which we knew from the pictures, but is a good size for a city apartment. The living room will allow you to spread out, while leaving a decent bedroom to sleep in. The kitchen is odd because its off the bedroom, but this is what happens in old city apartments. The kitchen is very small but adequate, just don't plan on cooking meals. It is fine for breakfast and coffee. The bathroom is big, but no shower, so keep that in mind. And it is on the third floor with no elevator. Fine for us, but if you don't like stairs it may disappoint All in all, for the money it is a bargain and the sacrifices are well worth the benefits.
