Excellent location. Convenient for the Wine Festival. Good facilities in the apartment. Local management was efficient. Superb break - would happily stay there again.

There are some unpleasant areas in Bordeaux, as you might expect. Nothing to do with this apartment though!

The apartment itself is terrific. Large, charming and very well equiped. The neighborhood is a lively multiethnic mix with lots of good food, not only French but North African, Middle Eastern, etc.

We had a lot of trouble communicating with the owner. She never picked up her phone and took hours to respond to time sensitive queries. On our way out the cleaning lady accidentally locked us out and we almost missed our train. Again no answer on the owner's phone. The only person who was very responsive was her assistant, but he did not seem to be authorized to answer our questions. The location is noisy, which we expected given the location.
