The apartment was exactly as pictured, including the incredible view of the lake. I don't think you could find a better view in Bordeaux. We rented a car and quickly found that it was much more convenient (and inexpensive) to take the tram into the centre of Bordeaux. The proximity to the tram station made this a very good location to stay. We were a party of three so only used two of the three bedrooms, but the apartment does contain a third bedroom with bunk beds that would be convenient for anyone with younger children. We very much enjoyed our time here!
