MAGNIFIQUES APPARTEMENTS AU COEUR DE BORDEAUX, Bordeaux

The apartments sit on a quiet internal courtyard just off Place Gambetta, putting the Cathedral, Grand Théâtre, Place de la Bourse and the Museum of Aquitaine all within a 10- to 13-minute walk. The Esplanade des Quinconces is 1 km away. A tram stop to the airport is a 1-minute walk, and multiple bus lines serve the area. Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is 9 km away. The neighbourhood is lively with many restaurants, bars and supermarkets within a few minutes' walk.

The one-bedroom ground-floor apartment includes a living room, one separate bedroom, a bathroom with bath and hairdryer, and a terrace. The two-bedroom apartment is on the first floor (accessible via external stairs) and has two separate bedrooms - ideal for two couples or a family of four - plus a bathroom with shower. Both units come with a fully equipped kitchenette (stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, tea/coffee maker), a washing machine, flat-screen TV, heating, and a seating area. Beds are doubles. The internal courtyard position makes the apartments exceptionally quiet despite the central location. Guests find the apartments clean, well-stocked with basics (cleaning products, coffee capsules, toilet paper) and comfortable for short or medium stays.

The kitchenette in every apartment includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and a tea and coffee maker, making it easy to prepare meals.
