Eric’s place was nice and perfect for a couple nights in Bordeaux. I wouldn’t have stayed much longer than that for a few reasons -
1) the neighbor downstairs loves to play music very loudly starting in the early evening. If you’re home for this it’s impossible to tune out.
2) the ceiling in the loft upstairs is fairly low. I am around 172 cm tall and constantly had to crouch down. I also hit my head / back while crouching multiple times.
3) the toilet is downstairs while the shower and sink/mirror are upstairs. This was pretty inconvenient should you have to use the toilet in the middle of the night.
4) there is no wifi. Not a deal-breaker and clearly stated in the description, however my cell service was not the best in the old building so this made web browsing / planning my days quite challenging.
5) bugs in the apartment. My first night I had a house centipede crawling up my arm while sitting on the couch. Perhaps normal for older buildings I’m Bordeaux, but not something I’m used to or would want in a nice apartment I am renting.
Other than these things, Eric’s place is great and as advertised. Eric is a very accommodating host and let me check out late since no one was staying the day I left. He also responds to messages very quickly, which I appreciated.
