The apartment is perfectly located for exploring the centre of Bordeaux. It is right by the river and near to a huge number of good restaurants/bars. The host is very responsive. Check-in/out is handled through an agency and we found this to be straightforward. The apartment is in good condition, secure and clean, with decent WiFi. It had all the things we needed for our stay and some extra touches too - always nice when your host provides shower gel etc in the bathroom, for example, and it’s great to have a Nespresso machine! All in all would definitely recommend Bernard’s place and happily stay there again. I read a few reviews on here complaining about the bottle bank noise, but a) it’s not that noisy and b) who actually goes to deposit their bottles beyond midnight? It just doesn’t happen, in all likelihood. The people complaining must have been in bed very early or are used to getting up late, is all I can say! It really wasn’t an issue for us and you can’t hear much from the bedroom. Anyway, if you stay in the heart of any city you should be prepared to accept some noise - and ideally be out enjoying it! :)
