Exceptional Stay in Bordeaux

Needed a place to stay between trips. What a find. Spacious, had all the appliances we needed (including washer and dryer), roomy bathroom, overlooked the Garonne River. and was located amongst lots of restaurants and shops. Even had a nearby tram stop. Additionally, our host went out of her way to make us comfortable with the features of the apartment and answer our questions about Bordeaux. Superb!

Superb!

If you are going to Bordeaux this is the apartment to stay in. We were there for 7 days so seen most areas of the city and this was in the best location, not too far from the Centre and there is a lovely square just behind with lots of restaurants. The apartment has beautiful views of the river, cannot fault it and am currently recommending to friends. Berenice is a great host and the apartment was spotless, comfortable and large. If only all holidays lets could be like this!

Beautiful view, comfortable stay

Berenice and her staff were very nice and graciously welcomed us to their beautiful apartment. The terrace has a gorgeous view of Bordeaux. The apartment is very comfortable. (Save the four floor walk-up - HOWEVER, good exercise after all of the delicious food and wine we consumed.) It was a very hot week, but every room is very nicely cooled with multiple, quiet AC units. We slept well. The location is spectacular. Everything is walking distance. Behind the apartment is Saint Louis-Des-Chartrons and a quiet square with a delicious collection of boulangerie, cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended.

A Jewel on the Garonne

Perched high above the Garonne shortly before it flows into the Atlantic, Bernice's apartment is an absolute joy. Beautifully furnished and impeccably clean one settles in easily and begins to uncover the wonders of the often underappreciated city of Bordeaux. The only drawback to the apartment is that it is so comfortable and the views so spectacular that very often one does not want venture out. A stone's through from the tram and an easy walk to the center of the city, the apartment has comfortable beds, a huge modern bathroom, a large dining table and a lovely well equipped kitchen. There are many food stores and restaurants within a ten minute walk. Added to this is the owner, Bernice, who is the epitome of Gallic charm and can't do enough for her guests. At the risk of being redundant, I will not repeat what all the other reviewers have posted. I will simply say je suis d'accord . Merci Bernice for an absolutely wonderful 10 day visit. It was not long enough and we will be back.

Gorgeous on the Garonne

This was our second stay in Bernice and Georges' absolutely gorgeous apartment overlooking the Garonne River. As with the first time two years ago, our 9 day stay was perfect. Perched high above the Garonne shortly before it flows into the Atlantic, the apartment is perfect for anyone who wants to either while away the hours watching the river traffic from the huge balcony or plunge right in to the exciting city of Bordeaux by hopping on the tram (which is only a few steps away from the apartment ) or walking along that same river. The apartment, located in the now very trendy Chartrons District, is beautifully furnished and impeccably clean with lightening fast internet,a huge modern bathroom with separate toilet compartment, a large dining table and a lovely well equipped kitchen. Include the added bonuses of a washer/dryer combination and air conditioning in every room and you have perfection. Bernice, who is the epitome of Gallic charm, can't do enough for her guests. She has stocked the apartment with guidebooks and maps to make exploring Bordeaux easy. At the risk of being redundant, I will not repeat what all the other reviewers have posted. I will simply say je suis d'accord . Merci Bernice and Georges for an absolutely wonderful second visit. As we said before, we will be back.

"Winter" in Bordeaux

My fiancee' is French and I am American. Every December, we choose a new place to visit and spend time together. Neither of us had ever been to the city and area before, and, like we always do, look to VRBO to find an apartment to suit our needs. My lady found this wonderful property and we were excited by the photos. It ended up being the best experience that we've ever had with VRBO; on either side of the Atlantic! The view from the front balcony was just like in the first photo! The apartment was large, beautifully decorated, and filled with comfortable furniture. Although the mattresses were not "plush" like this American is used to, they were still very comfortable and I had no trouble sleeping. This was mostly due to the fact that it was SO QUIET at night! The location is REALLY great; in the heart of the city. One tram line runs right along the river; with stops a couple minutes walk from the apartment. A small elevator, installed by the owners, saves a lot of stair climbing! Berenice and Georges, who lived in the apartment just below us, were the BEST hosts; even inviting us to their place one evening for wine and conversation. Berenice is so attentive to making everything in the apartment nice, attractive, and comfortable. They were very sweet and the whole experience makes us want to return in 2017! :)

Lovely apartment with a perfect location!

My husband and I just completed a two week stay in this gem of an apartment in Bordeaux. It is exactly as photos show and owners describe. The apartment is perfectly located with spectacular views from the terrace of Historic Bordeaux and the river Garonne. Just across the street is a promenade that is a great walking or bike path along the river. To the immediate south is the beautiful old city center and to the north, a pleasant stroll away, newer shopping, cafes and the recently built museum Cite' de Vin. Bordeaux has so much to offer, bike paths by the river and throughout the city, boat tours, Unesco Historic city center, wonderful wine tours, its own excellent ballet and opera companys. The highlight for me was the fantastic open market just across the street from the apartment every Sunday and a smaller one on Thursdays. Whether one is a cook or not, this market is not to be missed. There are wonderful prepared foods as rotisserie chicken ( the best I have ever had) , pork , fresh oysters, wonderful smoked salmon, paella , risotto , breads, cheeses, terrines, pastry and breads. There are folks from their own local vineyards selling lovely wines and stalls selling organic vegetables and fruits. Everyone there was very kind and helpful. Just a couple blocks behind the apartment is the wonderful Norte Dame area, there are many good restaunts and shops where there are more locals and very few tourists When we come back to Bordeaux, we will book again and I would not hesitate to reccomend this apartment to a friend. There is piece of mind knowing the owner is nearby and speaks perfect English . Bernice, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful but we were so busy seeing and doing that we actually only saw her when she welcomed us and again at the end to say goodbye.

Probably the best apartment I have stayed in.

Four of us booked a 3 night stay in Bordeaux at this lovely apartment. To be honest 3 nights was not really enough as Bordeaux is a lovely city, with lots of great bars and restaurants and plenty to see. The apartment is on the 4th floor of a very well renovated house on the Quai Des Chartrons, and has a great view looking out onto the river. There is a balcony with tables and chairs, where you can sit out on a warm evening and enjoy a glass of wine or two. The apartment is tastefully decorated and very well equipped, and the owner ,Berenice, speaks perfect English, and is happy to help with any queries - plus there she has provided loads of written information. Both bedrooms are of a good size, one with a double bed, and one with 3 singles. (The only thing I would improve is to add a mirror in the double room - seemed strange to have a dressing table but no mirror ?). The lounge dinner is spacious and well equipped, the kitchen has a hob, an a combination microwave and oven (we didn't try this, but it looked like new, with instructions in English), there was a coffee maker, cafetiere - in fact pretty much everything you could want. Very comfortable settee and chairs in the lounge, CD player, but no DVD player. There is a market every Sunday morning directly opposite the apartment which has a fantastic array of fresh foods, crafts, etc. Public transport is good, with a tram line station very close to the apartment, and 1.50 Euros buys you one hours travel on the trams, buses or water bus. To be honest we walked most of the time, as it was the best way to see the city, but I would recommend if you do walk to the other end of the city, to get the water bus back as it gives you some great views. Apartment is very secure, a fob for the front door, a code for the lift and a separate key for the apartment door, plus a another fob for the gate on the stairs. There are a couple of reasonable bar/restaurants just a few yards from the apartment, and loads more within a 5 minute walk. If you are looking for a 2 bedroom apartment in Bordeaux - this is the one to book

About the host

Hosted by Berenice Dorizon

My husband and I live in the apartment below which is very convenient and allows easy and friendly contact with my visitors. I am half English and perfectly bilingual which highly facilitates communication.
We take pride in our property and are responsive to any of our renters needs. We have lived abroad for many years and still travel. We have therefore transformed and decorated this flat as if it were for us. We have given it all the practical details we like to find when we rent abroad and are seldom found in a holiday rental, such as high quality material, personalised decoration, perfect sound and heat isolation, A/C, separate jetted bath and shower, controled access to the building, private lift, parking slot in the building, a good internet connection and of course all the help you wish to organise your stay in our beautiful city.

I have a personal website - www. chartrons37.com - where I tell you all about the city, the area and the apartment history. I also give all my secrets about where to eat, what to do, with or without children, my favourite places and activities ...

If we are away, my very reliable help, Cathy, will look after you very efficiently.

What makes this property unique

Few holiday flats in Bordeaux have both views to offer, one panoramic view over the River and one, from the bedrooms at the back, over the ancient roofs. Peace and quiet is total, however the city you are here for, its animation, buildings, distractions, is on the doorstep.
