Fantastic location. In the heart of things, yet very quiet. Great historical building. I had a problem with my car, and was very late. My hostess made sure I was looked after. Thank you.

Ishay from Denmark (9/10)
We are a couple and stayed 1 week in Bordeaux as tourist. The apartment is cousy and perfect for us. It has 1 room (combined bedroom and livingroom) and a separate kitchen, big enough to house an eating table and chairs. It is easy to access and the instructions by the owner are easy to follow. The season was late spring, so temperature was comfortable and there was no need for air condition or heating. It may be different in other seasons.
Giusy from Italy (9/10)
we really enjoyed the open space and brightness of the property and the natural touches and the plants. It felt like we were at home from the moment we stepped in and will definitely be back and recommend this to other people!
Francisco from Mexico (9/10)
It has been a great pleasure to stay in Suite Vivien Durand. Great experience. I felt confortable and at home. Cool details as the Marshal speaker and the chess game. Thanks Camille for creating such a great & charming space.
On top of that, La cuisine de Camille is a gret place for co-working included in the price of the suite. I will recomend Suite Vivien Durand 100%Karima from France (7/10)
