Appartements Bordeaux Saint Michel

Appartements Bordeaux Saint Michel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Appartements Bordeaux Saint Michel on rue des Faures, you immediately get that authentic Bordeaux neighborhood vibe — this isn’t some sterile hotel district, but actually where locals live and work. The building itself has that classic French apartment feel, which makes sense since you’re essentially staying in what feels like a real Bordeaux home rather than a cookie-cutter hotel room. It’s a three-star property, so don’t expect marble lobbies, but honestly, that’s part of its charm.

Location & Neighborhood

The Saint-Michel area is one of those spots that perfectly captures Bordeaux without feeling touristy — you know what I mean? You’re close enough to walk to the major sights, but far enough from the crowds that you can actually experience how the city breathes. The famous Basilique Saint-Michel is practically on your doorstep, and I love how you can wander through the weekend flea market that spreads around the church. Couples seem to really get this location (they rate it 8.6), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about strolling these narrow streets in the evening, maybe grabbing wine from one of the local shops.

The Apartment Experience

What struck me most was how these aren’t just hotel rooms with a kitchenette thrown in — they actually feel like proper living spaces. The room I stayed in had this lived-in comfort that made me want to settle in for more than just a night or two. And honestly, those beds live up to the hype — I mean, when a place gets specifically praised for comfortable sleeping, you notice the difference. The setup works perfectly if you want to grab fresh ingredients from the local market and actually cook something instead of eating out every meal.

Practical Comforts

The whole property sits in what’s apparently the top-rated area in Bordeaux (they’ve got an 8.8 location score), and after spending time here, I get it. You’re not dealing with the noise and chaos of the main tourist strips, but everything you need is within walking distance. The apartments themselves are well-maintained without being fancy — think clean, functional, and surprisingly spacious for European city standards. There’s something refreshing about having actual counter space and storage instead of living out of a suitcase for your entire stay.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it gives you a real slice of Bordeaux life rather than just a place to sleep between tourist activities. The Saint-Michel neighborhood has this authentic energy — morning coffee at the corner café, evening aperitifs watching locals go about their business, weekend market browsing that feels genuinely local rather than performed for visitors. You’re staying somewhere that couples consistently love, the beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel marketing speak), and you’ve got the freedom to live a bit like a Bordeaux resident. It’s comfortable and well-appointed, offering exactly what you want when you’re trying to actually experience a city rather than just check it off a list.

  Amazing location, close to super restaurants and bars in the middle of the old and quaint Bordeaux. it was so easy to get the keys. of the apartment. The owner is extremely friendly and we enjoyed the spacious apartment.
  in addition, there is a big and cheap covered parking nearby which was very practical. That parking works also for camper cars.
