Voilà! My stay in Bordeaux-Lormont at Ben´s place was really pleasant.
It was a last-minute-trip (3 days end of Aug 2014) and for which I got Ben´s reactions on my request for his room very fast.
To my impression all the instructions given in order to find the place were very accurate and clear. It was also really kind from him to provide me with extra touring information about Bordeaux. We met at the appointed time. His flat is really beautiful. For me it was perfect to be able to rent his bike and travel around with it. Due to our "busy schedules" at that time we did not get to know each other better, however I got good vibes from him. I would say "Ben is a really cool host with a really cool house". For those planning to visit him in the future: Enjoy!
