Lovely apartment walking distance to main attractions & amenities. I would stay here again. Charlotte had it very well equipped. The livingroom was so pretty we stayed in cooking pasta & ordering pizza 3 nights!
It was a large apt. that had a comfortable couch, chairs and bed. The kitchen was small but manageable. The shower room was very nice. The toilet room was small but worked. It was also very bright, with inside shutters that closed for privacy and noise reduction. It was a fabulous area to be in, a block away from the beautiful gardens and easy to walk most places. We would stay again.
Our stay was wonderful - the place, the people, the apartment. Fantastic location and so good to have space after 3 weeks travelling. The local area has everything you need including the beautiful public gardens. We called the whole historical sites trail and used the tram to get around. Highly recommend. Enjoyed shopping then cooking and dining on the terrace.
Apartment was lovely, great kitchen, well appointed. Would definitely stay again. Check in was a breeze. Didn't realize there was no AC until we checked in, however the apartment stayed comfortable even with outside temps at 80 degrees F.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Charlotte was a pleasure. The apartment had all of the charm we hoped for. The location adjacent the park was perfect. Do visit the Science Museum and have lunch at the wonderful restaurant located within the park. We would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.

Loved it was great location. Safe area and owner respond to any emergency swiftly
This a first class apartment with everything you need for a wonderful visit to Bordeaux. No need for a car
The apartment was excellent. Had everything we needed for 3 nights in Bordeaux! Location was excellent for the park and the LightPath train. We used google maps for the train. The apartment was quiet, and bed was comfy!
This very nice property is ideally located within Bordeaux.
Lovely apartment, large, airy, spacious and well furnished and equipped. The property is very central to the city, we could walk everywhere around in downtown Bordeaux.
Our stay (21 nights) was just great from start to finish, thanks to Suzanna and Charlotte, both are great, considerate and attentive.
We would definitely consider to stay here again.
Could not be happier with this property. My wife & I know Bordeaux well; staying here allowed us to enjoy the city to the maximum. The apartment is well appointed and very comfortable. With the apartment located near both the Jardin Public & a very convenient Tram stop, we were able to capitalize on the joy of being a Bordelais! Will be our first choice on every visit.
This is a wonderful apartment within walking distance of the centre of Bordeaux. An older building with on the street. The pictures on the listing are perfect. Large rooms with high ceilings with magnificent cornice’s.
Very well equipped with everything you could need.
Don’t hesitate to stay here.
We had a wonderful stay in this large, quiet, well-equipped, comfortable apartment. Our communications with Charlotte and Suzanna were timely, clear and relevant. The location was perfect. All the city sites and venues were within walking distance. It was so convenient to have butcher, bakery, restaurants, tram and bus within close proximity to the apartment. Taking morning walks to the nearby public gardens was a bonus. This apartment is in a perfect location for a great holiday in Bordeaux.
The property is pretty large by Bordeaux standards. It is conveniently located near a park and 10 minutes walk to the old town center.
We had a very smooth check in process, interaction with the property manager was also very smooth. She answered all our questions in a timely manner and went out of her way to help us get on the early 6am train going back to Paris.
We stayed for one month and had a great time. The one bedroom has everything we needed - from a small courtyard to spend time outside in good weather, to a wine fridge to keep your wine collection fresh and a fully automatic espresso maker to keep your awake in the morning. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area.
Very helpful manager and owner who sorted out some special requests.
Immaculate property, with cumfy bed, and full bathroom.
Kitchen has 3 ring hob and oven, plus fridge and dishwasher - all you need. Separate wc and washing facilities.
Huge airy living area, with wide-screen tv, table and chairs, plus settee and lounge chairs.
Well situated on the verge of the Jardin Public, close to tram and bus stops, and very convenient to the city centre, plus many bars, restaurants and local grocery etc shopping.
Thoroughly recommended.
Very nice apartment
Excellent location
Needs a deep cleaning
Definitely 5 star

I am glad you liked the apartment. I am surprised about the cleaning issue, as our cleaner is normally excellent. I will have it throughly cleaned straightaway.
The apartment is wonderful - spacious and well furnished. The kitchen is first class and well-equipped. The owners and property manager thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. It was nice to tour Bordeaux and the wine country and be able to come back to a home-like atmosphere to relax. This is a fabulous place to stay. We will definitely stay here when we come back.

Quel bel appartement!
On a passé un temps super dans ce bel appartement de style! On se sentait comme chez soi. Propre, tranquille, un matelas superbe...et même une bonne machine à café! ( mais que deux tasses!)
Charlotte était très attentionée et charmante.
La location de l’appartement est bien, c’est un coin de ville très sympatique. On pouvait tout atteindre à pied ou en tram.
Impécable, une place à recommander!

Clean comfortable apartment in Bordeaux
This is a nicely renovated apartment with 12 to 14’ living room ceilings and restored woodwork. Everything works well, the bed is comfortable and there is ample storage and a comfortable eating area. The kitchen is small but you can do some cooking.the apartment manager was punctual and pleasant.
The area has many amenities close by including groceries, meat and pastry shops, and some restaurants. The main areas of Bordeaux are a little farther away but the city was very walkable and public transportation was very good. We found some fantastic restaurants and loved the architure.
By rating the apartment 4 circles I don’t mean to downgrade it. To me 5 circles means perfect and this apartment has a few minor nits.
It’s on a side road with very few cars and can be considered quiet for a city apartment. However, there is an office in the building and especially during morning and afternoon commute times the building doors are always slamming. (This is an old building with old double doors.)
The washroom door does not shut and the bath tub has high sides that makes it difficult to get in for someone with mobility problems. The toilet is in a separate closet from the sink and tub.
All in, this is a nice apartment, better than most, and Bordeaux is a great city to visit.

was Very disappointed
This place needs to be cleaned , they need to get rid of the uncleanable carpet. Replace the nonstick frypans. new towels. Clean the dryer filters . All I could say is it needs a big update.
The only thing nice about it was the manager Charlotte. I’ll never go back.
I have had homes in Mexico for 13 years that I rent so I am aware of what is excaptble , what is great and what is bad.

We appreciate and value feedback from guests to help us maintain a high standard and give guests what they need. However, I find it astonishing that this guest, Marie, could not find a single positive thing about Bordeaux City Gardens apartment - the close proximity to the gardens or to shops; the unusual spaciousness for a one bedroom apartment, the pleasant courtyard, or the luxury features and fittings.
The very next guests gave Bordeaux City Gardens apartment the following review on another website beginning with "A". “Beautifully fitted out apartment a short walk from Bordeaux next to the Jardin Public. Great amenities, very clean, stylish and spacious. Suzanna was very helpful throughout providing recommendations for our great stay in Bordeaux!”
Back to the unhappy guest: from first entering the apartment, Marie told of us of a number of things she did not like, and we did our best to make changes to her satisfaction. She told us the rug was "dirty", so we removed it. (In fact it looked like variations in the pile creating different tones.). She pointed out that a couple of pots and pans in the kitchen had some scratches, and said that all the kitchen equipment should be changed yearly.
Early during her stay, our property manager went in with the cleaner to do a special cleaning session at our expense, with a particular emphasis on the dryer filter, and anything else not to the guest's liking.
We also took Marie's concerns on board, and have replaced most of the kitchen equipment; any towels which might be even slightly worn and purchased a new rug.
Marie told our property manager that she had decided to leave early for work reasons, and was concerned the train strike might delay her departure. I then received a demand for a refund, and a threat to write a bad review of the apartment if she didn't receive it. I did give her a partial refund. But perhaps it wasn't as much as she had hoped for.

Why they chose this property
For centuries those who could afford it chose to live near the beautiful Bordeaux Public Gardens and this elegant apartment reflects that tradition. While the gardens are virtually on the doorstep, at the other end of the street are the restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and many other shops in the Rue Fondaudege. You can walk into the center of Bordeaux in just a few minutes.
What makes this property unique
Bordeaux City Gardens is unusually large for a one bedroom apartment and the high ceilings and quality finishes are complemented by the contemporary decor. If you feel like eating alfresco, the patio is right outside the kitchen and bedroom.
