You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Descazeaux

Apartment was renovated by an architect in 2012 to the highest standards giving you all the conveniences you expect - from WIFI to dishwasher, tumbledryer and Nespresso - with all the character of a luxurious 18th century Bordeaux residence.
Furnished throughout with exquisite taste (mixing original 18th century paintings and engravings with 20th century iconic pieces of furniture), the apartment features a large and quiet master bedroom, sunny living room with balcony looking out over historic buildings, spacious dining area, fully-equipped kitchen - including a lovely breakfast bar - and bathroom with separate toilet and a wash hands.
This is a perfect base from which to explore Bordeaux and its region. Everything you might want is minutes away, many nice restaurants, typical cafés and delicious bakeries, museums, enjoyable theatres, cinemas and an amazing opera hall. Many city guides and addresses that tourists do not usually find will be at your disposal in the apartment. The Tourist Information Center is also within walking distance, and their staff will be very helpful when booking wine tours, city tours of the UNESCO listed heritage sites, etc.
The closest tram stop is just 300 meters away.

Check-ins are normally planned in the afternoon, after 3:30pm (extra charge after 19:00 : 25€)
Check-outs are normally planned in the morning, before 10:30am(extra charge before 7:30 : 25€)

Great location in a quiet street, within easy reach of Bordeaux sights etc.We loved the big living room.Not too bothered by the creaky floorboards above, nor smell of drains, but the huge puddle at the street door was impossible to cross with dry feet!

Great location but not luxurious
We stayed here for three nights. I have stayed in many apartments before all over the world and I was expecting at least the bed to be comfortable and to find a sufficient amount of toiletries. I had to wash my hands with shampoo because they only give you one soap for two sinks! The bed is a simple mattress with two small pillows. There was a sewer smell coming from the bathroom, and the bed is very close to the bathroom and there's no door just a curtain. The location is great due to the proximity to Saint James St. where you can find many shops and cafes. Communication was good and I never saw anyone, and we were able to check in and out by ourselves. Unfortunately,I feel that I paid too much for this place.

Superb location
Big apartment two floors up ( no elevator) in cobblestoned central historical area of Bordeaux. Renovated with all modern kitchen, bathroom. Furniture could be more comfy and the bathroom needs a fan (moldy smell) but that’s common in very old buildings. Management very responsive. Super for 2 people.

Quiet, spacious apartment on a charming street
The photos absolutely capture how lovely this apartment is: a gorgeous old building updated with all the modern conveniences yet preserves its period architectural details. The location is a quiet residential cobblestoned street, with cafes, the river, and historical monuments just a short walk away.

Fantastic place to stay in Bordeaux!
Fantastic location, incredibly quiet most of the time, yet close to every kind of restaurant, shopping, and the river promenade. Great appliances and well stocked for cooking fresh foods from the Marches de Capucins. Good help from the property managers, as needed. I'd stay for a month if I could!

A fabulous apartment in a fabulous location!
This apartment is located very close to transportation in an area that is also fun to walk through. We loved the modern amenities in a 17th century setting. Don’t bring a car to Bordeaux since it’s so easy to get around in and parking is a nightmare. Loved the high ceilings, hardwood floors and modern kitchen. Washer & dryer were great assets. The management was very responsive too. We’d stay here again any time!

We love everything about this apartment. It is well-located, clean, and has excellent appliances. The river rocks on the shower floor are a wonder for tired feet. The staff is terrific and responsive. We had stayed here in 2013 and felt as if we were coming home on our return visit.

Spacious apartment in a good location.
We had excellent communication with our hosts before and during our rental. Carmen met us at the apartment and did a thorough orientation and the house manual was very helpful, especially for the appliances that are quite different from ours in North America. The host was very responsive to a couple of issues that we raised during our stay (cleanliness in a couple of places and supplies that were missing) and I am sure that these will be rectified. The apartment is easy to find and close to the tram lines, but also within easy walking distance of all of the sites in the historic centre of Bordeaux. It is just outside the main tourist area and is quite quiet. There are many good restaurants a short walk away and Carmen pointed us toward local markets where we could buy great produce and food for cooking at home. The apartment is very large and comfortable. The kitchen is very modern and well equipped. The shower is great! Bordeaux is a wonderful city and we would love to visit again!

very beautifull apt in the centeri
My boyfriend and I stayed for 8 days in this apt. I loved everything about it: the bed, shower, the high ceilings and the building itself. Its in the center om a narrow charming street. There is a big food shop Carrefour close by. I can really recommend this apt; its quiet and just close to everything. You will have everything you need in this gem of an Apartment; much much better (and cheaper) than a bland hotel.

Fully updated flat in an ancient stone building (in the old center). Convenient to shopping/Metro.
We came for a meeting in the Palais de la Bourse. The flat is large by Paris standards, and the location was perfect, being a 7-minute walk from the meeting. The bedroom is in the back and quiet. With a supermarket nearby (4 min walk), we enjoyed using the kitchen, which is well-equipped. Antoine was great, making us welcome and being available by email or at his office (2 min away). We did not have a car, and from the looks of things a car would not be practical in the center of Bordeaux, just as in central Paris.

Stylish and spacious
This apartment is beautifully designed, stylishly furnished and thoughtfully equipped with good china and heavy cutlery and a range of meile appliances. The check in process was easy and professional. We were very comfortable here. As regular airbnb users we were surprised to have pay extra to rent linen as well as buy extra soap for the handbasin. Although we could easily walk to centre ville, and the tram was convenient, the location is at the less desirable edge of town and Cour Victor Hugo is home to the Turkish community.

Great location, lots of room, clean and efficient service
We booked the place for a week to attend a professional conference which happened to be during the Euro Cup, so we were advised to book ahead. We were quite happy with the arrangements to book the place, all very professional, almost too professional, reminding me of the Swiss. We were met, as scheduled, to gain access, and were indoctrinated about the use of all facilities which included very modern appliances. The apartment is spacious with a living room overlooking the street below, large bedroom, and enormous shower. The location is only a 5 minute walk from Porte de Borgogne Tram station which is easily reached from the main train station (Gare St. Jean). The central market, and eateries are all close by. Although there is a complete kitchen, we opted to only cook once as we were stuffed, a problem while eating in Bordeaux. While most of our meals were provided by the conference program, it would be enjoyable to visit the central market and take home the bounty of Bordeaux produce to eat at home; but, as I said, we ate out much of the time. The highlight of our trip was the annual fete le vin, which included an extraordinay light and sound show on the quai. I admit that I was a bit nervous about the 200 euro deposit, but with a quick inspection, that was returned in full, which gave me confidence to write this positive review. I have only one negative comment. The charge a 70 euro fee for linen. From an American perspective, that is unusual, as we expect linen to be included in a rental fee. But, I think I got most of that back. Anyway, it was unclear, but it that is the French way, it was only a small inconvenience. We had colleagues staying in hotel rooms at more expense without all the conveniences of an apartment. So, I would rate this 5-star,would stay there again if we traveled to Bordeaux, and would highly recommend it to friends. Bob Hodgson, California

Excellent location, lovely apartment, highly recommend
This was a lovely apartment in the centre of Bordeux. We travelled as a group of four. Irish guys to see Ireland play in the European football championships. There is a double bed in one room with a fold out couch bed in the sitting room. Shower facilities are very good and the apartment is very modern. Would highly recommend this apartment if you are looking to stay in the heard of the city!
