You won't find many houses in central-ish Bordeaux with a swimming pool in the back garden, which was a sun trap when I stayed - and very peaceful. I relaxed in a quiet, comfortable and well-equipped suite at the top (second floor) of the house. If you have a car, there is street-parking but you are better off dumping it around 10 minutes walk to the north, near avenue Carnot, where parking is free. From the house, it's only a 15 minute stroll into the centre of the city, and for those averse to walking, there is a modern tram stop about 100 metres away.. The hosts are charming and friendly, speak English and give helpful advice for their guests on Bordeaux itself.
