A nice apartment in a quiet part of Bordeaux - easily walkable from the station and also not so far from the centre of town. The apartment is old and in an old building. This has several positives, high ceilings, decorative ceilings, a nice parquet floor and very solid and attractive wood panelling and doors. It is also very clearly where someone lives - so it is not a sterile empty Airbnb with furniture recently bought at Ikea. It also has a few negatives - there is very little sound isolation (soundproofing) from neighbouring apartments. Possibly we were unlucky (it was around New Year) but we had a lot of noise from the apartments below and above on one night, and a lot of noise from a neighbouring apartment on the other night. Another big positive, Bernard and the lady who did the greeting and key exchange were very helpful and responsive - and it was very helpful to give us an earlier check in and later checkout.
