Burdigala Homes – Appart de Lalande

Burdigala Homes – Appart de Lalande Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Burdigala Homes – Appart de Lalande on Rue de Lalande, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something good. This three-star property sits right in what locals consider one of the best neighborhoods in Bordeaux — and honestly, the location score of 9.5 makes total sense once you’re here. The building has that classic French charm without being overly touristy, and there’s something refreshing about staying in an actual apartment rather than just another hotel room.

The Neighborhood Advantage

You know what I love about this spot? It’s genuinely where Bordeaux feels most authentic. Rue de Lalande puts you within easy walking distance of the city center, but you’re not dealing with the constant tourist crowds. I mean, couples rate the location 9.6 for good reason — there are cozy wine bars tucked into side streets, morning markets where locals actually shop, and that perfect balance of residential calm with urban energy. The tram connections are solid too, so getting around the wider city is actually pretty effortless.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup here is what really sets this place apart from typical hotel stays. You get a proper living space that doesn’t feel cramped or overly designed for tourists — it’s more like borrowing a friend’s place who happens to have great taste. The kitchen is functional enough for morning coffee or a simple meal, which honestly saves you from having to eat out for every single meal. Each room feels thoughtfully arranged, and there’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in rather than living out of a suitcase.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll make your life easier — free parking right on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in central Bordeaux, you’ll know this is basically gold. No circling blocks looking for a spot, no feeding meters every two hours, just pull up and you’re done. It’s one of those details that seems small until you actually need it, then suddenly it’s the best thing about your whole trip. The building itself is well-maintained without being fussy, and everything just works the way it should.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9 rating, this place clearly gets something right that many others miss. I think it comes down to that sweet spot between independence and comfort — you get the freedom of apartment living with the reliability of professional management. The location puts you in the heart of what makes Bordeaux special without the noise and chaos of the main tourist strips. Plus, there’s something satisfying about staying somewhere that couples consistently rave about — it suggests the kind of relaxed, authentic experience that makes a trip memorable rather than just another hotel stay you’ll forget in six months.

Reviews of Burdigala Homes – Appart de Lalande

• Inna from United States (9/10)

  My husband and I stayed in this apartment in July 2024 for a week. The owner of the apartment met us, gave us the keys and introduced us to the apartment. The owner was very friendly. The apartment is clean and cozy. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. Also next to the apartment there is a free parking space (this is a very good thing). The apartment is not far from the supermarket, attractions. I liked everything. I recommend it.

• Charlotte from United States (9/10)

  The location is great. Walking distance to the heart of the city. In fact the Sainte Catherine pedestrian shopping street is nearby and can be walked in two directions. If tired, the tram stop is not far away. Carrefour supermarket a short walk.
  I especially liked that each side of the bed had a small night stand and reading lamp. These are so appreciated when one of us is awake at 3 o'clock with jet lag time difference!

• Graham from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Just right for our 5 night stay. Great location, easy walk to trams and busses and a supermarket. Perfect host who made an effort and met us out of the normal hours (we arrived on a very early flight.) We cooked in one night and the appartment was well equipped. I wish we could have stayed longer.

• Анна from Russia (9/10)

  The apartment is rather good. Parking place is very useful. No AC, but it was ok in June warm weather. Unfortunately we hade problems with late check in. I did not notice that check in is possible only till 19.00, but our pane delayed for two hours. We hade to stay one night at another place. Next morning the host met us and the key. I will recommend the apartments for visit Bordeaux.

• Barbara from Switzerland (9/10)

  Location was really excellent, really walking distance to everything we wanted to see. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within a short walk.
  
  The apartment was a good size for two people with a small dining table and a seating area. The place was clean with good wifi. The kitchen had all the equipment (e.g. full size fridge, oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher, hot water kettle, coffee machine) with limited cooking items (e.g. salt, pepper, sugar, some vinegar only). There was a washing machine in the toilet room.
  
  The parking & building were very secure – a gated area and double keyed entry. If driving, be sure you have organized the meeting time with the host, Jean-Christophe, before you arrive. It is not possible to wait in the alley in front of the gated area for very long – he needs to be there to let you in and give you the remote.

• Alberto from United States (8/10)

  Apartment was spacious. All the appliances worked well. Within walking distance to many sights, shops and restaurants. Free parking in a secure lot. Comfortable bed, large shower, plenty of storage space. Staff was responsive and provided missing supplies when contacted.

• Jayakumar from France (9/10)

  Best location, best host

• Raymond from United States (9/10)

  Large well-equipped apartment with a very comfortable bed. Linens were clean and crisp, floors spotless and the kitchen was well stocked and easy to utilize with additional counter space. Location was excellent with tram service to the entire city and the archeological museum within a 3-minute walk. Parking was great; convenient and safe. Elevator was the perfect addition. This was a very good stay. We would definitely reserve again!

• Marketa from Czech Republic (9/10)

  We really liked the flat and the area, great communication with Jean Christopher, he gave us many tips for visiting Bordeaux and was flexible for the keys delivery.

• Palle from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Great location in the center of Bordeaux and easy walk to attractions and tram. Nice and clean flat with great decor. Friendly host who meet us on arrival. Free safe parking behind the property. Would go again.
