Jean is a great host and goes out of his way to accomodate his guests' needs. The apartment is cozy, clean and has all the amenities you could want. Perfect location with great views of the river, close to all the sights and public transportation as well as to an endless choice of nice restaurants and cafés. One piece of advice: If you intend to sleep on the sofa-bed, make sure to bring earplugs because the tram is right out front and quite noisy. Bordeaux is a wonderful city and this place is a perfect starting point to explore it.
