The place was beautiful and better than expected

Very good!

We loved our stay! The apartment was exactly as shown on the website, clean, well located and super unique. We could walk anywhere in the city from our apartment and felt safe at any hour of the day. Highly recommend and would stay there again in a heart beat. We were delayed with our flight and Geraldine (host) was wonderful and met us at midnight to greet us and was very helpful with suggestions.

Absolutely loved the location, the classic french interior and amenities. The only drawbacks are the inability to unload your luggage on the street in front of the building, and the steep spiral staircase leading to the door. We are 71 years "young" and quite agile, but negotiating the stairs with our luggage was a bit intimidating. Please make your guests aware of this prior to renting...if either one of us were not "capable" we would not have been able to stay there. Lastly, we loved the stonework, but the ceiling flakes off and particles fall everywhere in the apartment. Maybe a sealant would solve the issue. Otherwise, it was great. Thank you!

You may not want to go out! So nice and stylish!! Beautiful street and close to lively neighbourhood.

Plenty of space and a great location. Manager communicated well.

This historic and upgraded place exceeded our expectations for space and comfort. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

What a wonderful place to stay. So unique. Communication was great. Wish we could’ve stayed longer than one night.

Very close to many interesting sights and nice areas

Provided a very interesting experience. Great location in old Bordeaux. Within 50 meters of municipal tram line which traverses the city. Near river, restaurants, shopping and attractions. Apartment is accessed via stone spiral staircase. Unit is spacious and has contemporary appliances and fixtures. This is a very old stone structure. Appreciating that fact, we emptied the water from the two dehumidifiers when necessary and kept luggage closed to avoid sand and flaking from the stone getting into clothing. A new mattress would improve guests’ sleeping comfort. Enjoyed our stay.

The property was very cool and in a great location. We loved the vibe! Géraldine was also extremely welcoming and gave us lots of excellent recommendations for the area. So appreciated! The only negative for us was that the pull out bed felt a bit unsteady for two adults- I think it would be a great place for 2-3 adults or two adults and younger kids, rather than four adults. Otherwise it was great!!

Beautiful property, large apartment, all immenties as stated. Great area for exploring Bordeaux on foot and easy access to tram. Some communication issues.

Apartment was as described. Great communication with host who even helped me get a taxi when I wasn’t getting any offers online. I enjoyed the location, good kitchen,washer and comfy bed.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the whole place had a beautiful vibe and decoration. You need to park your car 2 blocks away, nevertheless the location was in an easy area to get around!

We stayed 5 nights in this apartment. It had everything we needed for our comfort. I am claustrophobic so I was worried about being downstairs. It was not a problem. Window is large and opened up. I would have liked a small fan for circulation and a flat sheet for the bed as the comforter could be a bit warm. We cooked some meals in and washed clothes. A drying rack is supplied. The manager, Geraldine, met us at the property. She was friendly and helpful. We had Netflix in English. First TV in 12 days. The stairs are narrow and steep but once the luggage was in, not a problem. I didn't like the dog poop all over the alleyway. Why don't people clean up after their dogs? Thank you for a nice place to Stay in this fabulous city. I recommend Viator tour to St. Emilion. Very good. Oh and if you like wine, the bar Vin across from the tour center.

This is a great property. We got lost and were quite delayed and still they had someone there to meet us! We would recommend this apartment to others.

We very much enjoyed our spacious stone cave. It is just as pictured on the website. The kitchen was well-furnished and the entire apartment was well—lit. The only negatives are slow internet, probably due to all the stone, the dingy narrow hallway crowded with bicycles and two flights of narrow, spiral stone stairs necessary to enter. Both Lionel and his concierge, Virginie, were very responsive although Virginie seemed very hurried when she checked us in. The neighborhood seems to be in transition. We arrived on a Saturday and were greeted by a nearly-passed -out drunk opposite our door and another fully passed-out drunk at the end of the street which was full of litter. However during the remainder of our stay, we did not encounter these problems. The street is very well lit at night and the cave is very quiet.

The apartment is as beautiful as shown on VRBO. The soft lighting and glow of the stone walls and ceilings give everything a warmth and coziness. One room comprises the comfortable living room and kitchen. The kitchen has excellent appliances- an induction range, no less, and a full refrigerator! We cooked a number of meals to take advantage of the fantastic fresh food we could buy! The bedroom and bathroom are in the second room. It has an extra large queen bed with a moderately firm mattress - we slept well! The location of the windows away from the street made everything very quiet. There is a large closet with lots of hangers and drawers. The bath has a great shower with lots of hot water! The small washing machine was quite efficient. We stayed there three weeks during late September and early October 2019. At times it was unseasonably warm outside. But the apartment, with all the stone walls and indirect lighting, stayed comfortable and cool. Lionel was an excellent host. He was very responsive to our needs. His recommendations for restaurants were perfect! He could not have made the stay more enjoyable! One word of caution: since the apartment is a former armory built in the 1700’s, and located below the ground level at the front of the building, access is by two flights of narrow circular stairs of the type we saw in castles! We loved the quaintness and exercise. But it is not for a person that needs easier entry! We highly recommend this rental, particularly for longer stays. It is within a 10 minute walk to hundreds of fabulous restaurants and 15 minutes to Marche du Cuperins - a fantastic and very large French market with every possible fresh food imaginable!

Exactly as posted. Very complicated to find with construction in the narrow cobblestone alleys. Parking is a 15 min walk and with luggage on the cobblestone can be difficult. The stairs to the unit are narrow and steep so be aware. Otherwise a very pleasant place- well equipped and clean.Owners very helpful and accommodating.

We spent two nights. A very lovely stay. The apartment is amazing and well appointed in addition to being very well situated. The check-in process was super smooth. We loved our stay!

The property is great, excellent location, good comms with the owner. Everything you could want for an enjoyable stay in Bordeaux. Except - We were given a very short window of time to check-in, about 20 minutes which is difficult to achieve when travelling by various means of transport from the UK. The owner had arranged for an agent to let us in. When we sent a text from the station saying we would miss the given time by about five minutes we received a not very polite reply. We were left waiting outside the property for 20 minutes. Not a good start. However, it did get better.

We enjoyed our stay in this historic apartment. It was very convenient to all the sights of Bordeaux. The apartment is clean and well equipped and very quiet even though it’s in a very lively neighborhood. If you plan on cooking make sure you visit the farmers market, it’s the best. Lots of good restaurants and cafes and the tram stop is very close by.

Loved being in number 18. Never slept in a cave before! It was extremely well appointed and equipped. It was in a very central spot with lots of eating places and sites to see. Bordeaux is beautiful. L’Etoile was a newly opened restaurant selling French food just five minutes from the apartment. The staff were extremely welcoming. Many sites to see in Bordeaux.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unique castle-like apartment in a hundreds of years old building in the historic St. Michel area of Bordeaux. Everything was walkable or easy to get to by tram of the sights in the city. We did a day trip to the St. Emilion wine district that was also terrific. That and other trips are easy to arrange at the tourist office which is a walk or quick tram ride from the apartment. I had a foot injury and also appreciated the sort of tuk tuk tourist ride around the sights, also easy to get at the tourist office. Corinne and Lionel gave helpful guidance, maps and suggestions for sights, restaurants, daytrip possibilities. Be aware that if you have large luggage or wheelchair or the like, that the apartment is located down two levels of spiral rock steps. There are windows opening onto an interior little courtyard between buildings, the apartment is nicely appointed. With solid rock walls, you really feel tucked away though that, for us, was part of the historic, authentic charm. It was a great experience, a unique place to stay, in fact we recommended it to other travelers we met in Provence as they were headed there.

We were welcomed at the apartment by our host. He was warm and welcoming. He kindly showed us around the apartment and gave us great suggestions on what to do and where to visit. Wonderful location in Bordeaux, very close to restaurants, shops, and near the tram. The master bedroom was cozy yet very spacious with lots of charm. The bathroom was up to date with a modern shower with great water pressure. We used the sofa bed which was comfortable and easy to setup. It was a wonderful experience to stay in a 13th century apartment! Would highly recommend to stay here on a visit to Bordeaux!

We had a great time the appartment is hidden away downstairs in the historic heart of Bordeaux, Lionel was a great host even meeting us from the tram which we took from the station as our TGV was late and the wifi on the train wasn't working. The appartment is superbly appointed, good king sized bed and a lovely shower. The property has steep stairs to it and the doorway to the bedroom is low but if your mobility is not challenged then I would highly recommend the apartment and the city. lots of great restaurants and bars in easy strolling distance.

Lovely comfortable apartment everything you could possibly need, quiet but central. Lovely hot shower. Would highly recommend

Clean, comfortable with everything you need for your stay. Location OK, near tram so only a few stops to the popular places.

Well located and Well appointed

As advertised........Unusua below ground level space in a historic building in a good location. Easy access to mass transit. Bring. Your own shampoo, soap, etc.

Lugar idilico para pasar unos dias en pareja o con amigos. Muy bien equipado y muy centrico. Muy recomendable.
