This thoughtfully appointed space has everything one would need while visiting Bordeaux for a few nights. We stayed for 5 nights.
It is located in a vibrant, multicultural enclave very close to the centre of Bordeaux and a short walk to any of the restaurants, bars and sightseeing attractions. We did not find it necessary to use public transport during our stay as we explored the whole city on foot with short breaks to have a glass of Bordeaux (or two) on the way. The regional Bordeaux wines are absolutely delicious and inexpensive by the glass.
The space has access to a wonderfully kept garden area to the rear, where there is a fish pond and seating area. It is very peaceful and we used it on a couple of occasions to relax with a gateaux and a bottle of wine we brought back from a day trip to Saint Emilion - a mere 30 minutes away by train.
Some reviews have mentioned noise being apparent while staying at this listing. We didn't hear anything, day or night, except for the delightful chirping of small birds in the garden. It is a very peaceful space with no noise from traffic.
We found the amenities useful and comfortable, especially the sofa bed. There is a fantastic boulangerie around the corner with all the typical French breads and cakes available for you delectation. They serve very good coffee and they have a seating area, should you wish to dine in. The Capucin Market is also around the corner - what an absolute delight and a 'must' visit!
Thank you, Marianne, for a wonderful stay and being kind enough to accommodate any of our needs.
We would not hesitate to book this space again if available for our next visit to Bordeaux, which will be very soon - we have fallen in love with the city.
