Charming Apartment / Rue Des Faussets / St Pierre ***** (2nd floor)

The apartment is right in the middle of the Saint Pierre area of Bordeaux, with plenty of restaurants around. The bathroom was good, strong water pressure and lots of hot water. Walking distance to many of Bordeaux’ sights. Prefect

Really special building in a fun little neighborhood adjacent to the Place de la Bourse. Steps to the lively square with cafes and restaurants. Easy walk to museums, parks, historic landmarks, the river front and public transit.

We recently stayed at this lovely little apartment while visiting Bordeaux. It is in a perfect location, clean and welcoming. The best part is the warm hospitality of Laurence and Eddie! Laurence spent time sharing tips on her city, things to do and see, places to eat that were outside of the typical "tourist" venues. Her suggestions were spot on and this was an amazing time in Bordeaux. We can't say enough about the property, it's owners or the city itself! We will return and will definitely keep this gem in mind!

We stayed at this apartment from 10/23-10/27 2017. It was spacious and very comfortable. The owner, Laurent, met us at the entrance. She is a very warm and enthusiastic person. She let us into the apartment and showed us around. She even assembled a booklet with some very useful information about Bordeaux, restaurants, places of interest and tips about the wine country. The apartment is very amenable for a short term stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with coffee maker, electric hot water maker, dishes, utensils, pots, pans, etc. The bed was fine and there were plenty of pillows and blankets. The bathroom was clean and had plenty of hot water. The shower worked well too. The apartment is located on a small street just blocks from the Bourse in downtown. It's a perfect location. At night the street becomes a repository for many restaurants and cafes, but the apartment itself is located at the rear of the building and so no noise filters through. We were very happy with our stay and would certainly return and we recommend this apartment with only the following reservations and suggestions. 1) The apartment is located on the second floor which entails a climb of 42 winding and rather steep steps. There is no elevator. It might be difficult for some people to navigate the transporting of luggage up and down these steps. Laurent will certainly help, but one should be aware of the climb. 2) The person who lives on the top floor comes into his apartment late at night and leaves early in the morning. Don't know if he's a renter, but footsteps can certainly be heard. 3) One should be sure to sleep with the curtain closed. When people in the building walk up and down the stairs, they turn on the light to the entire building and flood the apartment with light. They are also able to see inside the apartment. 4) The apartment comes with soap for the bathroom sink only and not for the shower. There is no place in the shower to place your soap, shampoo, etc. and so these things have to remain on the shower floor. In addition, the faucet of the sink is rather short and washing one's hands is a bit of a challenge. 5) The pictures around the apartment might not be for everyone's taste. 6)The fireplace is impressive, but contrary to the photo, it is non-functioning. 5) The towels are laundered but are very rough to the skin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return visit to the charming city of Bordeaux.
