The apt was very well located and just steps from the tram. It was very fast to arrive from the airport, and quite painless public transportation in Bordeaux. As the other reviews state, it is a calm area (which can be a bit tricky if you're looking for a late night snack, but is PERFECT if you want to fall asleep quietly STEPS from the public transport). Also worth mentioning that the transport is very inexpensive- 1.50EUR. Loved Bordeaux, and can't wait to go back. The place is newly renovated, and extremely clean. I had to leave quite early and didn't get to spend much time in the garden, which seemed very nice.
