Luxuary 18th Century Apartment in the Historical center

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!

My boyfriend and I stayed for 8 days in this apt. I loved everything about it: the bed, shower, the high ceilings and the building itself. Its in the center om a narrow charming street. There is a big food shop Carrefour close by. I can really recommend this apt; its quiet and just close to everything. You will have everything you need in this gem of an Apartment; much much better (and cheaper) than a bland hotel.

We came for a meeting in the Palais de la Bourse. The flat is large by Paris standards, and the location was perfect, being a 7-minute walk from the meeting. The bedroom is in the back and quiet. With a supermarket nearby (4 min walk), we enjoyed using the kitchen, which is well-equipped. Antoine was great, making us welcome and being available by email or at his office (2 min away). We did not have a car, and from the looks of things a car would not be practical in the center of Bordeaux, just as in central Paris.

This apartment is beautifully designed, stylishly furnished and thoughtfully equipped with good china and heavy cutlery and a range of meile appliances. The check in process was easy and professional. We were very comfortable here. As regular airbnb users we were surprised to have pay extra to rent linen as well as buy extra soap for the handbasin. Although we could easily walk to centre ville, and the tram was convenient, the location is at the less desirable edge of town and Cour Victor Hugo is home to the Turkish community.

My wife and I spent 3 weeks in this apartment in April, 2017. We have rented apts. in numerous European countries over the past 15 years and rented a different apt. in Bordeaux for 3 weeks in 2013.

Bordeaux is a terrific city from many perspectives and this apartment has a good location. Reasonably close to the very efficient tram system and walking distance to many of the interesting places in the city. The kitchen is good (we cook) and well equipped and the apt. is not cramped at all. The managers were helpful with pre-arrival questions and coordination.

However, this apt. should NOT be listed as having parking. If you need to park at your apt. do not rent this one. There is a garage at the apt.....and we rented the exact car the managers told us by email would fit. On arrival we were told to use a public parking garage 5-6 bocks away. No key to the garage was furnished by the (very nice) young woman who let us in the apt. She essentially spoke no English though the actual managers speak and write it quite well. I spoke by phone with one of the managers and was basically told the garage was not available. We were saved only by the fact that we didn't pick up the car until 7 days after we moved in. Had we arrived in the car it would have been a disaster. When I texted management for assistance (as we were told to do when arranging move in) regarding public parking procedures, cost, etc., I was ignored for 4 full days. We spent quite a bit of time on our own gathering the necessary information----which they could have given me in 2 minutes---and of course had to pay for the public garage. So....if you are planning to drive on side trips and think you will park in accord with the apt. you read about.....caveat emptor!
