Christine is a charming and thoughtful woman who is very generous with access to her exceptional home. It is beautifully decorated with antique furniture, a fine collection of original oil paintings and prints (both contemporary and historically evocative). And her little grey cat has lots of personality. The bed we had was the most comfortable we have slept on in France. Bath facilities were easy to use and everything was very clean. Breakfast on the morning of our departure was very nice, in the kitchen looking out on to a splendid garden with lush foliage and many songbirds. We took several photos of this urban 'oasis' of calm. Christine has a busy professional life, but she is very attentive to the needs of her guests and she is very knowledgeable about where to go and what to see in downtown Bordeaux. This is an ideal spot for staying several days in Bordeaux and exploring the city by bus or tram. We strongly recommend Christine's delightful home.
