I stumbled upon Helene and Fabrice's accommodation after spending hours looking for somewhere to stay for a few days in/near Bordeaux; suffice to say that I wasn't disappointed.
My girlfriend and I stayed at the apartment/room for four days and really enjoyed our stay. The apartment isn't too far away from Bordeaux's tramlines, so getting into the centre of town wasn't too taxing! I recommend buying a a day/week pass for the trams and busses...
The accomodation was great: it's perfectly clean, towels are provided and the bed is really comfy. Helene and Fabrice are charming hosts, and I thank them for battling to understand my broken French!
If you're looking for somewhere small to stay in the area, I couldn't recommend Helene's offering highly enough.
