I highly recommend this listing! I didn’t meet Denise, but dealt with her son Jérôme who was welcoming and accommodating of my train schedule. Communication was prompt and clear (we wrote in French) and the apartment was easy to find.
The apartment is a 1st floor walk up (2nd floor for North Americans), so if mobility is an issue, this listing isn’t for you. If you can climb a flight of stairs, you will find a very comfortable, modern, safe accommodation. There is a full kitchen with everything you need for eating in. The living room offers a comfy couch which is perfect for having a coffee on a lazy morning. The bathroom and WC are large and new. The bedroom is very big with a walk-in closet. The windows all have shutters that block out both noise and light.
I only stayed one night while conducting some research, but I think this is a great place for both long and short stays. The apartment is only a 10 min walk from the train station and a 15-20 min walk from the Old Town. There are grocery stores about 10 mins away if you choose to eat in.
Jérôme left a basket with breakfast items (toasts, jam, coffee, tea, milk, sugar). Everything was clean and in excellent condition.
I would recommend this listing to solo travellers or couples, and wouldn’t hesitate to come back the next time I’m in Bordeaux. Merci, Jérôme et Denise, pour votre accueil chaleureux!
