We stayed for 3 nights to visit Bordeaux, see my cousin in Cognac and then head down to San Sebastián, so having the car parking included was such a bonus. We loved the apartment and would have gladly stayed longer. Even if we didn’t have a car this place is well placed to visit Bordeaux and we would stay again.
Checkin was perfect. We communicated our flight arrival and then ETA driving in. I got a bit worried as the car park (parking Bonnac - under Aparthotel Adagio) is locked but they were waiting at the gate to open up and direct us to the private space. Up the lift to the 5th floor to the modern apartment as in the pictures.
The kitchen has everything including washing pods for the washing machine, various coffee options including Nespresso pods, oil, salt, sugar and even cling film.
The lounge has a massive smart TV though we were out too much to watch it. The bedroom is a reasonable size with an en-suite shower. There is a separate toilet at the entrance which is preferable. There is an impressive fan in the lounge and an amazing powerful but quiet one in the bedroom as well. The temperature hit 38 during our stay and the flat was never too hot. You will also find an iron, hairdryer, dryer stand (though a bigger - self standing one you be a good purchase by the owner). Loads of games and books to read. The shower is powerful. The bed is European hard but not uncomfortable.
It is a quick and easy 15mins walk to Place de La Bourse.
The only 2 things to mention is
1) yes there is the musty stagnant water smell in the shower (due to the design), when you arrive BUT a quick shower and opening the windows quickly gets rid of it. Yes, it does recur to a lesser degree if you have been out all day, with the windows closed, BUT they provide numerous “Glade” and other brands of perfume products to mask it and once you have a shower it goes. It did not affect our stay.
2) on leaving you have to coordinate this if you have a car in the garage. You need the key fob to get to and from the garage and there is no mobile phone reception till you drive out of the garage onto the road. IE once the car is packed, one person had to go up to the room and then take the lift to the ground floor and then meet the car at the parking garage gate or on the road outside. This is a minor issue and worth having a secure space.
