I cannot recommend Yves’s guest house enough. Yves is a fabulous host who went above and beyond a typical host. He met us at the bus stop, gave us a tour of Bordeaux, and provided us a number of useful items and goodies for our stay as well as several helpful recommendations. In addition, the space is adorable- exactly as described, very clean, and extremely well-equipped. Yves supplies loads of maps and tourist information to make the most of your stay and everything has been well-thought out, from the location of blinds to keep the sun out of the loft to convenient shelf placement to a spot to hang your razor in the shower. It’s like staying at your extremely thoughtful friend’s house. The terrace is gorgeous and very private feeling- we had breakfast outside daily. While it is a 30-minute walk (or a bus ride) from the center, we loved staying here because it was easy to get into town for the day and was a super calm and relaxing place to return to at night (and a good refreshing walk after a long French dinner.) If we get the chance to return to Bordeaux someday, we’ll try and stay here again. Thanks Yves!
