Maison Manège Bordeaux Centre
Staying at Maison Manège Bordeaux Centre was an absolute delight! The apartment is located in a charming historic building with five or six units, giving it a genuine local vibe. We booked a spacious two-bedroom unit with a well-equipped living room, dining area, and kitchen—perfect for cooking and relaxing. While they offer a French breakfast, we found it just as easy to prepare our own meals thanks to a supermarket (Carrefour) just steps away. The location is unbeatable—within walking distance of all the city’s main attractions, making sightseeing, dining out, and exploring effortless. A quick tip: be sure to email the host a day in advance, as the front door uses a code lock and the key is stored in a small coded box near the entrance. Last-minute contact might not get an immediate response, so planning ahead saves hassle. Overall, this was a fantastic stay—great value, authentic atmosphere, and ideal for travelers who love independence and convenience.
