My wife and I REALLY enjoyed our stay in Lionel and Corinne's place. Lionel gave very clear instructions on how to get to the AirBNB. He also let us check in early since our plane arrived earlier than expected. He was easy to contact (phone and email) and communicated very well by checking in from time to time before our arrival and during our stay. Lionel also gave us very good recommendations of things to do in Bordeaux. Very nice people to stay with.
The AirBNB itself is VERY nice. Everything worked (kitchen/ bathroom/ washer/ etc.) as advertised although it took us a few youtube videos to figure out how to use the washing machine :D. The living room and bedroom both have windows you can open for some fresh air.
The location is also VERY nice- it is downtown but just far enough away from the busy part to where there is not a lot of foot traffic. We hardly ever saw anyone walking on our street. Speaking of traffic, the street its on is very small. Our taxi couldn't get up it so it was maybe 100 yards walk from the main street. We actually liked this because we didn't hear any noise :). A 5 minute walk will put you in a busier part of downtown with lots of restaurants and shops and a 10 minute walk will put you right at the river. The metro lines and VCub bike sharing stations were between a 5-10 minute walk away. VERY convenient.
We felt very safe staying here. Like I said, there was almost zero car traffic and minimal foot traffic so we never felt uncomfortable. There is a main door on the street that has a lock, a stairwell door that has a lock (although this one was hardly ever shut) and our room has a third lock. This place was like Fort Know- no one is getting in here.
I would highly recommend staying here. When we go back, we plan to :).
