Don’t let the surrounding street put you off. The apartment is clean and well maintained. There is a lovely courtyard attached where you can relax and have a drink and something to eat. Parking in the city center was a real bonus. The apartment is within easy walking distance to some great restaurants, coffee shops and of course all the sights Bordeaux has to offer. Communication was excellent through out. I would definitely look to stay again if ever we are in Bordeaux in the future.
