Golden triangle spacious Bordeaux apartment

The size and location of the apartment is excellent and cannot be faulted. The Jardin Public is just across the road and there are many cafes/restaurants within 5-10min walk.There is aircon in both the bedrooms which works well but is very noisy and couldn’t be left on whilst sleeping due to this. The check in process involves being met by the host as I don’t think there is an option for a key safe/key to be left anywhere. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Apartment is situated in a prime Bordeaux neighborhood- away from heavily touristed area but convenient to reach all places of interest. We loved quick walk to Chartrons, and Jardin Publique is right across the street. Elevator was great when checking in with luggage. The host was very pleasant and worked with us when our arrival flight was delayed. Yes, some updates would be good, but we were very happy with our stay.

I spent 6 weeks here. 1st reaction was “this apt could use some updating”, BUT I grew to love its advantages:LOCATION!!! Two tram stops:(Jardin Publique) 5 min away;(Paul Dommer) 8 min. Using the tram? Stay here.Apt is a 1min walk to Jardin Publique. Want to stroll a well-tended park, with wide bike paths/footpaths, picnic areas, a cafe, & 2 children play areas? Stay here.Location (Quinconnes & the Chartons) in near lovely cafes, markets, boulangeries or patisseries.Apt is large but sparsely decorated; you do not stay on top of someone’s “stuff” & can spread out.There are dishes, cooking utensils (teflon is very worn; I bought a frying pan)& a dishwasher. (kitchen faucet needs replacing). Want to make meals?Stay here.Appliances include a large refrigerator (Picard nearby), micro, oven/stove, & washer/dryer. (you will use drying rack!). Beds are large/comfortable (queen, full, sofa converts to queen); 2 bedrooms are private. The bedding is a bit worn, but clean. Want a good sleep? Stay here. Elevator!! It is small, but a luxury. Don’t want to do steps after walking? Stay here.Apt is bright with both morning sun & afternoon sun .Most important, apt is quiet & SAFE! Digital key entry double-bolted door lock. La Rue D’Aviau has traffic but no commercial enterprises that create noise. Want to sleep secure? Stay here.As for my 1st impression? Updating floors would make a good 1st impression, but after a few days, I didn’t care.My recommendation? STAY HERE!

This is the perfect location for people who love close walkable access to the city, but the quiet for resting and sleeping. The apartment is modestly equipped. The kitchen could use a new countertop, (water damaged and cracked) we didn’t cook at all so it didn’t bother us. The hand held shower has limited pressure volume, so prepare for extra time if you have to rinse hair, mine took twice as long. There is plenty of storage space in the bathroom which is a bonus.
