Perfect position to visit Bordeaux and very comfortable apartment.
We had a fabulous week in this apartment over Christmas. It was warm, comfortable and a great view of the protests, which we able to see from the safety of our balcony. The market which we visited on the Saturday before Christmas was very busy, but one of the best I have ever seen. It is very easy to get around, mainly by foot but an easy tram system stops very close by. I would definitely love to go again and recommend it for anyone wishing to visit Bordeaux.

idéalement situé
l'appartement est idéalement situé pour visiter le centre de bordeaux à pied. le logement est très bien équipé.par contre l'insonorisation dans la seconde chambre laisse à désiré et il n'est pas rare d'entendre les voisins s'ils mettent de la musique.Le quartier est un peu surprenant et loin de l'image que l'on peut se faire de bordeaux.

Pleasant stay
The apartment is located on the top floor of this old but renovated building, it has a small elevator from the 90s that can only carry two adults. During our stay I never saw anybody else coming in or out or even heard anybody in the other apartments, it felt as if we had the whole building for ourselves. The apartment is big and cozy with all the amenities. It has a full kitchen with washing/dryer machine. Yes two in one. The location of the apartment is strategic, you have markets, convenience stores, pharmacies, restaurants, small shops all around, From the terrace you can see a nice view of the bridge, the river and of course this arch which gives a special feeling of your stay. The only thing to remember is that the apartment is located in a very narrow street so you have to be quick unloading your bags, and find parking ( which is a few feet away)

Cute apartment with balcony close to Garonne river & public transportation
We had a very nice stay in this 4th floor apartment in the St Michel neighborhood. The apartment was well-appointed and nicely decorated. Charlotte was great about giving us suggestions on places to see & eat, and made for an easy check-in process. Getting back to the airport at the end of our stay was a breeze with the airport tram essentially right out the door! The neighborhood is diverse with many different ethnic food options and shops; there is a grocery store just up the street, and numerous vegetable stands, butchers, boulangeries/patisseries, cheese shops, etc. We signed up for a cooking class just around the corner, The Gastronome, and it was the highlight of our trip. It included a tour of the Marche des Capucins, where we selected ingredients for the meal that we took back to a GORGEOUS atelier about a block from the apartment and made a delicious lunch that we enjoyed with local Bordeaux wines. It was an easy walk to anywhere in the core of the city. We walked to Cite du Vin and the trendy neighborhoods for Michelin-star meals and to the tourism office to meet up for wine tours. My only caution was that the immediate neighborhood didn't feel super comfortable to be out in alone late at night as a woman. The building itself has a secured entrance. We were so pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed Bordeaux -- so much less crowded than Paris, less expensive, better access to amazing wines, and similar architecture and "look & feel." Recommend!

Beautiful Bordeaux
This elevator accessible apartment is within a block of a Tram stop with amazing views of the river. Several grocery and bakery options are available nearby. We met our host's colleague at the appointed time and she gave us an orientation tour of the apartment. The apartment was clean and had all the things we would need. (The use one, replace one wine sharing station was a nice addition) Please note that my 6 foot 2 inch tall husband did have to guard his head in some parts of the apartment, but we left with no injuries.

Brilliant Bordeaux
We had a great stay from 11-18 September. Super apartment multiple air conditioning units much appreciated. Location close to Port du Burgoyne Tram stop. Ideal for exploring Bordeaux by tram or river taxi (Bat). WiFi issues and lighting in the shower room sorted promptly. 100 steps to the 4th floor but the lift is available for luggage. We really enjoyed our stay with so many fantastic places to each at lunch and in the evening. The local bakery is also brilliant and only 5 minutes walk away. We hope to be back in Bordeaux soon! Many thanks for the memories and the breakfast balcony, what a winner!

Great flat
We loved a number of things about the property - it's central location, layout, balcony, and it contained everything we needed for our stay. The area is 'edgy', and some unpleasant characters in the area, but none of that affected our stay and is not the fault of the property, every city is the same !

Large apartment with terrace in Bordeaux
This apartment is in a nice location, being right on the river, and the terrace offers lovely views over Porte Bourgogne. There is a lift to the fourth floor location of this apartment, which was very handy, and the apartment was clean. There is a good parking station about 200 m from the apartment, which is very handy if you have a car. The apartment is of a good size but probably better suited for just two adults or two adults with young children. The master bed was comfortable and the furnishings and fittings are rather eclectic, but not high end, however they are adequate. Communication with the host was easy and the check in and check out process was easy as well.

Bordeaux Visit
This property was all that it is described online. We really liked that it worked well for 3 people, and it was well located with easy access to transportation. The owner was great in her communications, and we had no issues with the property other than the coffee maker wasn't working well, maybe it needed descaling. We told the property manager and she said she would attend to it. But it was not working at all during our visit. This apartment is very well equipped for those wishing to prepare their own food. This apartment being on 4th floor would not be accessible for those with any major disability due too many stairs and small elevator. We were not impacted this way, but those who are disabled should not stay here. While the area is overall good, at night there were some people around that made me feel uncomfortable by their behaviour. The side street where the entrance is on is not extremely well lit at night. I am glad I was not there as a lone woman traveler. Bordeaux is a very changed city since my last visit over 25 years ago, and while it isn't crime ridden by any means, there seems to be a lot of people who seem transient. My friend who is from Bordeaux and stayed with us while we visited told us that we need to take care with our bags. I guess like a large European cities pickpockets can be anywhere. Bordeaux is a great city with much to offer, and with many day trips in the region as well , it truly is a jewel of a city don't hesitate to go there and enjoy all.

Apartment well maintained. Very accommodating and helpful property managers. The view from the terrace is outstanding. The terrace itself is well set up for dining and relaxing among a variety of plants. Proximity to the tram made getting to the airport and the train station a breeze - no transfers needed. One issue was handled quickly by the property managers and the owner.

Comfortable stay in Bordeaux
We had an enjoyable stay at Bordeaux Terrace. It was an easy walk into the City Center as well as to the local parking garage for trips outside the city. The apartment was well cared for, however, the neighborhood was dirty; lots of trash and broken bottles every day. We tended to avoid St Michel square and instead walk into the “old” city. Overall, a good stay. Charlotte was very helpful upon check in and check out was easy and flexible.

Make sure the lift is working
This is a unique property with a great deck. It is on the 4th floor that is a lot more than 4 regular floors. It has an uneven stone circular staircase. If you have very heavy bags or aren't in pretty good shape be careful here. The owner gave us credit for the lift not working voluntarily but if you are not in decent shape, staying here could be a big problem if that lift isn't working. Enough about the lift. There are restaurants and grocery stores very close. Right near the tram line. The apartment has a very loft type feel with ancient wood beams dominating the space and a great view. It is quiet at night, windows can be left open. They all have screens. Very well equipped, clothes washer was great.

Overall, we were very disappointed in the apartment. The property was run down and had a musty smell. We were not comfortable in the area and did not feel it was safe. The key to the trash room did not work. The view from the balcony was nice and the apartment was spacious enough for us. If it were in a nicer area and was in better condition, it would have been fine.

Superbe property with spectacular views. Close to everything you need. The manager Charlotte made our stay even better. She was extremely helpful and provided excellent recommendations for restaurants. The only annoyance is the little water pressure when taking a shower, which we were warned about, but this would not stop us from renting this amazing place again.

Great apartment
This was a fantastic apartment. We loved the fact that it was always cool when we came back after a long hot day - having mosquito screens & being able to leave the terrace door open was great. And the lift of course too! The apartment was really comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The bed was huge and very comfy too. We loved sitting out on the terrace every evening. The only slight downside was that the area was a bit scruffy and noisy at night, with lots of young lads hanging about, although we never felt threatened or unsafe. Other than that the location was excellent for sight seeing and getting about.

Very nice stay at Bordeaux Terrace
All in all we had a great time at Bordeaux Terrace. Everything posted on their add and all pictures were spot on. The location was perfect. Had we really paid attention, we would have taken the tram from Gare St. Jean station directly to the apartment. It was like, 3 stops away and a Tram station is literally feet from the apartment. One small glitch was that we had no hot water for the first couple of days. It didn’t ruin our trip though! The problem was rectified upon notifying the property manager who escorted a plumber over to fix the issue. I highly recommend this property. Btw, Charlotte….the property manager, was a gem to work with.

Appartement plein de charme central et lumineux
L'appartement est très bien situé, très central mais relativement calme car au dernier étage, parfait pour visiter Bordeaux. Il est décoré avec gout, bien équipé. Nous étions avec nos 2 enfants et avons passé un très bon séjour. Le seul bémol était le lit, trop mou à notre gout. Un rideau plus opaque pour se protéger de la lumière aurait été appréciable.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanna Clarke

Host profile image
I am a New Zealander now living in France. I bought and renovated Bordeaux Terrace in 2007, and it was the beginning of my vacation rental company, Cameleon Bleu Boutique Holiday Rentals. We now manage multiple properties in France and Morocco. My team have a vast amount of experience in greeting guests and enhancing their stay. We are happy to assist you to make the most of your precious holiday!

Why they chose this property

The first time I walked onto the terrace of this apartment and saw the amazing view, all I could say was 'Wow'! I immediately decided to buy it - it only apartment with a large terrace in this area. I love that it is in the heart of historic Bordeaux, yet has a sense of being peaceful and above from everything.

What makes this property unique

You can take your drink or meal onto the terrace and watch the world below. From here, I have seen gigantic aircraft wings floating down the river, demonstrations, beautiful firework displays and delicate falling snow. Within five minutes you can be in Rue St Catherine, the longest shopping street in Europe, or at Capucins market, where they sell the best oysters, foie gras and cheeses. There is an artisan baker just around the corner, and on Saturdays a fantastic fruit and vegetable market. On Sundays, only metres from the apartment building, you can hunt for treasures among the bric-a-brac and antiques of the St Michel market. I've found some great and inexpensive collectables here, ranging from early editions of classic books, to old photos, to vintage clothing, to kitchenware, to pieces of embroidery and garden sculptures.
There is a wide selection of restaurants and bars very nearby, and the tram stop is less than 50 meters away.
