B&B l'Escapade Bordelaise

Our host was excellent from the beginning with very prompt responses to our questions and extremely accurate descriptions of how to get to and into the property. Julien was very hopeful throughout our stay and we would definitely stay at his place again when visiting Bordeaux. The property itself is ideally located in a quiet area but with a short walk to everything

We enjoyed 3 nights staying in this multi-apartment building. Jullien the host was accommodating and got back to us with queries really quickly. Breakfast was just enough and again, Jullien on Hand on the morning to help us get set for the day. We stayed in the bottom floor apartment and the one issue we had with it was the noise throughout the night. One night I had decided to have a window open and there was a loud intermittent door opening noise coming through. Initially we thought it was someone trying to gain access to our apartment and after 2 to 3 hours of being up through the night we shut the window and the noise went a little. We passed on feedback to Jullien but he hadn't had anyone else say anything. Good location - would recommend. On reflection, there are places that are half the price too online - not sure this apartment was worth the premium we paid.

How to describe this? It’s a tall corner building with a fairly narrow staircase leading up to ( I think ) 3 bedrooms, one on each floor. We occupied the first and 2nd floors and I didn’t look any higher! The rooms were large and stylishly decorated. The toilet is open to the room, albeit tucked discreetly into a corner, so I think you’d want to be a good friend of your travelling companion. The rooms themselves were very comfortable ( though I would have liked extra pillows and as the host isn’t on site I couldn’t ask), and the place itself is well situated. An easy walk into the city centre and near some good bars and restaurants. Continental breakfast was absolutely fine. Taxi from Bordeaux airport cost us £50. Tram back cost less than £7 for all 4 of us. The tram stop is very near and straightforward ( change line at Porte Bourgogne) so that’s what I would recommend.
