Appartement dernier étage, balcon, parking gratuit ! Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted Appartement dernier étage, balcon, parking gratuit ! on Rue Malbec, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This three-star top-floor apartment delivers exactly what it promises: a balcony with decent views and free parking that’s actually on-site (which, trust me, is gold in Bordeaux). The building itself is typical Bordeaux architecture — nothing fancy, but solid and well-maintained.

Location & Neighborhood

Rue Malbec sits in a really sweet spot that locals know but tourists often miss. You’re close enough to walk into the historic center without dealing with all the tourist chaos right outside your door. I mean, couples are rating this location 8.5 out of 10, and honestly, I get it — you can stroll to the tram lines easily, grab groceries at the nearby Monoprix, and there’s this little bakery around the corner that does incredible canelés. The neighborhood has that lived-in feel where you’ll see actual Bordelais going about their daily business.

The Space

Being on the top floor means you’re getting natural light from multiple directions, and that balcony — well, it’s not huge, but it’s perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The room layout is practical rather than Instagram-worthy, but everything works. There’s a proper kitchenette where you can actually cook (not just reheat), which I appreciated after too many hotel breakfast buffets. The furnishings are clean and modern without trying too hard, and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want.

Practical Perks

That free parking situation is genuinely a game-changer if you’re driving into Bordeaux. Most places either don’t have it or charge you 15-20 euros a day for the privilege. Here, you just pull up and you’re done. The apartment also comes with all the little things that make a difference — decent Wi-Fi, a washing machine (lifesaver for longer stays), and proper blackout curtains that actually block the light. Recent guests have been rating the overall location at 8.3, and after staying here, I can see why the numbers are solid.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it doesn’t oversell itself — it’s exactly what it says on the tin. You get independence, space to spread out, and a location that puts you in real Bordeaux rather than tourist Bordeaux. The 8.1 rating reflects what I experienced: nothing’s going to blow your mind, but nothing’s going to disappoint you either. It’s particularly great for couples who want to explore the wine region by day and come back to their own space at night. Plus, having that balcony means you can grab a bottle from one of the nearby wine shops and enjoy it with a view — which, let’s face it, is pretty much the Bordeaux experience in a nutshell.
