Valerie’s place was great. It’s a building with multiple rooms. I had a shower, sink, fridge, sink, electric boiler, desk and bed in my room and only had to share the toilet and kitchen with other people. It’s also possible to do your laundry. The neighbourhood felt safe and the place is easily reachable by both foot and bus.
The greeting was done by a guy and he was exceptionally welcoming, he took his time to explain some things and made sure that I understood everything and could get back into the building. The only downside to this place was that the walls are quite thin, so when someone upstairs was making themselves ready to leave at 4:30 in the morning I woke up, so keep in mind to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
Overall my stay was perfect! Would definitely come back again if I’d be in Bordeaux.
