Magnifique appartement avec terrasse

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first walked up to 56 Rue Fondaudège, I wasn’t expecting much – the street itself is pretty unassuming, just one of those typical Bordeaux residential roads with classic limestone buildings. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t scream for attention from the sidewalk.

The apartment itself completely changed my perspective once I got inside. The space has this effortless French elegance that feels lived-in rather than staged – I mean, you can tell someone actually put thought into making this comfortable for travelers, not just throwing together some IKEA furniture and calling it done. The real winner, though, is definitely that terrasse mentioned in the name. It’s not huge, but it catches the afternoon light perfectly, and I found myself having my morning coffee out there every single day. You’re looking out over typical Bordeaux rooftops with those gorgeous cream-colored buildings stretching toward the Garonne, and honestly, it never got old. The neighbors are pretty quiet too – I was worried about noise since you’re right in the city center, but the street doesn’t get much through traffic.

What really sold me on this place was how walkable everything is from here. You’re maybe a ten-minute stroll to Place des Quinconces (which, let’s be honest, is impossible to miss), and the tram stop at Hôtel de Ville is close enough that you don’t need to think twice about exploring other neighborhoods. I actually walked to the Saint-Pierre district for dinner most nights – there’s this little wine bar on Rue des Bahutiers that locals seem to love, and it’s the kind of discovery you make when you’re staying somewhere residential rather than stuck in the touristy Gambetta area. The morning market at Marché des Capucins is totally doable on foot too, though I’ll warn you that the walk back with groceries is slightly uphill – nothing terrible, just something to keep in mind.

The apartment itself runs pretty smoothly – good water pressure, reliable wifi, and the kitchen actually has everything you need if you want to cook (which I did, especially after hitting that market). Check-in was straightforward, no weird key-pickup drama or anything like that. I mean, it’s not luxury by any stretch, but it’s got character and feels authentically Bordeaux in a way that a lot of vacation rentals try for but miss. The 3-star rating seems about right – it’s comfortable and well-maintained without being fancy, and that perfect 10 rating from other guests makes sense once you factor in the location and that terrasse. You’re getting solid value here, especially if you want to feel like you’re actually living in Bordeaux for a few days rather than just passing through.

• Location de très bonne qualité dans un emplacement idéal pour découvrir Bordeaux. – Anonymous from France – 7 July 2025 (10/10)

  L'emplacement est parfait ! Le quartier est très agréable et beau. À découvrir à pied ou à vélo !
  
  What could be improved: Le bruit des portes voisines et les voisins bruyants dans la location mitoyenne. Très désagréable les cris tôt le matin !
