Superb apartment of 185 sqm overlooking the Garonne and the Stone Bridge

The apartment itself is a very large, long apartment. Bedrooms are a little on the small side but there is a large dining room, small TV room and good size lounge. Kitchen is a little dated but has all the necessary appliances. Minor problems were dealt with very quickly by the landlord.There are 2 points that let it down but would be difficult to resolve, so just to be aware: The main bedroom has an ensuite comprising a sink, a shower and a toilet. Then there is one other toilet (no sink). And one other shower room with sink. This was not very clear on the listing. To have 2 toilets (one without a sink) in an apartment with 3 bedrooms and a sofabed (so potentially 8 occupants) was a bit of a surpise.The other issue was that there was no air conditioning, which is opposite to what was stated in the English version of the VRBO site. (The host later showed me the French version which implied "fan only".) This was when the temp outside was 41 C. So trying to stay cool, even with thick walls, with just fans was pretty much impossible. Given the age of the building, however, (and a Unesco area) this would be difficult to resolve.The position of the flat, however, overlooking the Pont de Pierre and literally 50m from the tram stop Porte de Bourgogne which goes straight to Bordeaux Airport for just 1.90, and a 10 minute walk along the banks of the Garonne to the centre more than made up for these two points.We would definitely stay again (but only at a cooler time of year).

Elegant, classic apartment in old building. Conveniently located. Entry with long staircase up to secure unit was rough with trash bins. 1 bedroom with ensuite bathroom, other 2 share toilet and separate sink/shower room. All nice and functional just down long hall. We appreciated Kitchen and washer dryer. Overall good experience in a beautiful city.Enjoyed great food and wine!

Accommodations were perfect for our group. Loved the old world charm. Very spacious and well equipped. Plus there was a nice washer and dryer!! Location was good and walkable to many sites. The tram was accessible right in front, too! We enjoyed our stay very much. Communication was excellent.

Lovely old building nicely decorated well furnished good location. Would have been nice to have the television in the larger room as a group we had to squeeze into the smaller room with a less comfortable sofa…the main room was so much bigger. Kitchen well equipped. Only issue was the last night when one of our group was disturbed by a noisy group up stairs.
