Overall enjoyed the property- it was quite well situated for getting around town, restaurants, night life, etc. The bedrooms were like quiet little cocoons- minimal noise for an apartment. The only item to note was both rooms had more like a Queen plus size bed. The check in process and communication with the manager could not have been easier! Very clean and tidy property.

I highly recommend this apartment. Spacious, clean, great beds/mattresses and nice bedding. The views from the windows are enchanting. Well equipped kitchen, abundant water in the showers. Clean, modern and renovated unit. Exceeded my expectations. I will definitely stay here again. The city of Bordeaux is gorgeous with its old world architecture and full of cafes and shopping. Overall a GREAT stay!!

The view out the windows can transport you to the ancient heart of Bordeaux, as this apartment sits in one of the buildings that replaced the ancient palace of the Aquitaine dukes. But in addition to this location in a UNESCO world heritage city, you have the convenience of a lift, wifi, and modern kitchen. The apartment is as described and very comfortable. Cafes, wine stores, and other shops are just out the door. This is a popular part of Bordeaux and the place/square is full in the evenings. You'll feel in the center of a lively city. We had a car and found parking at the Victor Hugo garage to be most convenient. Most city landmarks are in walking distance, with the tram stop nearby as well. Staff was very pleasant to work with -- thank you!

We stayed at this apartment for 5 nights and found it to be excellent - from allowing us an early check-in, the cleanliness of the place, the size of the apartment and especially the location, it made this a great place to stay on our return visit to Bordeaux

Very spacious and clean apartment and Charlotte was there to greet us. Bar opposite was a little noisy at times but not in a raucous way. Close to the tram and bus for the airport. Check out ticket options.

What an excellent place to stay! centrally located. grocery store around the corner. small bar across the street for a night cap. easy walk to everywhere. We took a wine tour and seems the main pickup spot for tours is a few minutes walk. The apartment was very comfortable. I would definately rebook here! Cant wait to come back. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect location and very convenient to walk everywhere. Pictures
of listing were very accurate but the whole apartment was bigger than we expected. Charlotte was very easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. When we had some difficulties getting our car to the apartment at the end of our stay due to some unexpected road issues, Charlotte went out of her way to help us navigate the very challenging roads. She is a real gem and so is the apartment. We would stay there again if we return.

The apartment is not far from the river, close to the tram, and very adjacent to lots of restaurants etc. It is no more than a few hundred metres from the main shopping streets.
Although on the 4th floor of an old building there is a perfectly adequate, albeit small, lift.
Working TV and wi-fi, nice comfortable chairs and beds. One unfortunate side-effect of the old building with shutters is that the curtains seemed difficult to erect, were very tall, and failed to keep out early morning light effectively. It was very hot and humid weather, and the fans provided were appreciated.
It is probably my fault but we failed to spot in the specification that the kitchen had only two electric rings and no oven. There was a "dual" microwave, which purported to work as a small oven, but in practice didn't appear to, its temperature seemingly always 220F. This meant that if one wanted to visit markets and self-cater it wasn't easy.
We found the manager most charming and helpful, booking us a taxi back to the airport and helping with at least one other query.
Strongly recommended for location and comfort, and the caveats mentioned may not be an issue for many.
