The apartment was functional, clean, spacious and decorated with taste. There was plenty of cookware available, enough for a long stay of a family of four. I lived in this apartment in winter with freezing temperatures outside and the isolation and heating worked very well. You need to be aware, however, that it is a fifth floor without elevator, so not accessible for people with mobility problems. The instructions for the self check-in and check-out were very clear and easy and the hosts have been responsive when we needed their help.

The location in Villenave d'Ornon is very convenient if you need to move daily around the South of the Bordeaux Métropole (Bègles, Talence, Pessac...) and avoid the worst of traffic. In the almost three months that we stayed there, we didn't have any trouble to find parking (free, in the street) in front of the building.
It is a residential area, so there are not many services just there. There is a school and crèche and a small convenience store very close by, but that's it. However in a 5-minute car ride (or maybe 20 min walking) you can reach several large supermarkets, bakeries, grocery stores, pharmacies... 5 min walking from the property there is a well-served bus stop (Sarcignan) that allows you to easily connect with the center of Bordeaux and other bus/tram lines. A 20 min walk (5 minutes by car) leaves you at the tram station of Villenave Pyrenées, where there is a convenient park&ride parking if you don't want the hassle of driving and parking in the center of Bordeaux. The tram station at Pont de la Maye is also reachable through a 20 min walk. I find it an excellent location for visiting Bordeaux and the neighboring regions without having to suffer the heavy traffic of the center. This location is maybe best suited for those with a car, but I found that using public transportation is also very convenient if you want to visit the city of Bordeaux.
