Perfect location in the heart of Bordeaux - pretty much a 20 minute walk to all of downtown. Apartment was actually a pleasant surprise - very comfortable and well appointed - comfortable furniture. The bathroom was another surprise with a large shower.
The apartement is well equipped and perfectly situated in the old town of Bordeaux. Close to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. We had an enjoyable stay in the beautiful city of Bordeaux.
The location was perfect for us. The accommodations were better than expected and management worked with us to check in early and told us the easiest way to get from the train station to the apartment. We would stay here again.
Lovely apartment with all amenities. Great location. Host was helpful and efficient. All information was helpful and accurate. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!
Great location in a quiet street, within easy reach of Bordeaux sights etc.We loved the big living room.Not too bothered by the creaky floorboards above, nor smell of drains, but the huge puddle at the street door was impossible to cross with dry feet!
Big apartment two floors up ( no elevator) in cobblestoned central historical area of Bordeaux. Renovated with all modern kitchen, bathroom. Furniture could be more comfy and the bathroom needs a fan (moldy smell) but that’s common in very old buildings. Management very responsive. Super for 2 people.
We didnt stay because our credit card company flagged the payment link as a gamer site

Our payment site is correct and reliable, we have been working with Abritel for 10 years. You have had payment restrictions with your bank. It seems very bad of you to leave a comment like that, knowing that there may be incidents with our future clients, who think that we are not reliable in payment. Your comment hurts us and on top of that you did not even rent or stay in the apartment.
We stayed here for three nights. I have stayed in many apartments before all over the world and I was expecting at least the bed to be comfortable and to find a sufficient amount of toiletries. I had to wash my hands with shampoo because they only give you one soap for two sinks! The bed is a simple mattress with two small pillows.
There was a sewer smell coming from the bathroom, and the bed is very close to the bathroom and there's no door just a curtain.
The location is great due to the proximity to Saint James St. where you can find many shops and cafes.
Communication was good and I never saw anyone, and we were able to check in and out by ourselves.
Unfortunately,I feel that I paid too much for this place.

Spacious apartment in a good location.
We had excellent communication with our hosts before and during our rental. Carmen met us at the apartment and did a thorough orientation and the house manual was very helpful, especially for the appliances that are quite different from ours in North America. The host was very responsive to a couple of issues that we raised during our stay (cleanliness in a couple of places and supplies that were missing) and I am sure that these will be rectified. The apartment is easy to find and close to the tram lines, but also within easy walking distance of all of the sites in the historic centre of Bordeaux. It is just outside the main tourist area and is quite quiet. There are many good restaurants a short walk away and Carmen pointed us toward local markets where we could buy great produce and food for cooking at home. The apartment is very large and comfortable. The kitchen is very modern and well equipped. The shower is great! Bordeaux is a wonderful city and we would love to visit again!
Merci pour ce lieu superbe. Pour le goût et les espaces. C’est très agréable de séjourner dans un lieu comme le vôtre. Pas de IKEA. Que du beau et bon. Merci
Des ruelles pavées, des passages étroits entre les bâtiments en pierres claires et massives et aussi l'architecture de la maison donnent l'impression qu'on est dès l'arrivée au cœur de Bordeaux. Effectivement, pendant notre séjour il y a eu un tournage pour "Les Misérables" juste avec la coulisse historique à laquelle appartient la maison.A l'intérieur de l'appartement l'équipement est excellent et les appareils ménager sont de fabrication allemande haut de gamme. Et l'architecture avec les pierres claires, les plafonds hauts et la cheminée engendrent une ambiance bordelaise même quand on ne sort pas. D'ailleurs, même les jours chauds, la température de l'intérieur reste agréable.Le bémol: S'assoir à deux, voire même manger sur le balcon est absolument impossible: Il minuscule.
Wir hatten einen super entspannten Aufenthalt in einer großzügigen, gut ausgestatteten und geschmackvoll eingerichteten Wohnung in zentraler, ruhiger Lage.

Parfait!
Autant l’appartement que le quartier ont répondu à nos attentes.
Appartement dans quartier piéton donc très calme tout en étant pratiquement au centre-ville. Cuisine bien équipée, appartement confortable et spacieux. Très agréable séjour
The photos absolutely capture how lovely this apartment is: a gorgeous old building updated with all the modern conveniences yet preserves its period architectural details. The location is a quiet residential cobblestoned street, with cafes, the river, and historical monuments just a short walk away.
Should not collect security deposit. Walls need to be touched up. Blind in bath cord broke. Small things that might be called damage. Otherwise we enjoyed your place very much.
The apartment was exactly as it was said to be and the tall windows with balcony over the quiet street were a wonderful feature. Management company is excellent!
