The host did everything to make the dust comfortable, and he will be as attentive as you want him to be. Gave enough information about the town and the surrounding and Bordeaux culture to go around for av few days stay. In a real neighbourhood of Bordeaux, close to university and place de victoire. Close enough to main train station and historic old town and the river, but not too close to any. The small room by the street can be a bit noisy at night, remember this is a real living area of toe town.
