This gem of Airbnb is a favourite and is what will make me want to return to Bordeaux and stay longer . Bordeaux was extremely busy and Airbnb mostly booked for the saturday night that I was in town . How lucky was I to find Flora & Cyrils truly beautiful newly renovated deceptively large double fronted cottage. It is so spacious and tastefully and sympathetically restored by this delightful young couple. This Airbnb is quiet and the accomodation is on the ground floor next to a stunning modern showerroom and seperate toilet. It is openplan and you are greeted by the feeling of spaciousness which extends to a large back garden still in the process of being landscaped. By car it is not far about 10 minute drive from the station( to the left as you exit the train station).The area has a lovely feel ,just regular folk, not too fancy but very homely with patisseries and conveniences right on your doorstep. The house is about a 3 minute walk from all activity and easily accessible busstop. Flora took me to the 15 bus and it was downtown within 20 minutes.Transport service in Bordeaux is excellent. It is 1.50 euro for one way ticket which you can buy on the bus . This then gives you 1 hour of travel anywhere on the network. There is great GPS system on the bus. It will tell you exactly how long to your destination ,with upcoming stops and cross over streets and major points of interest. I highly recommend this Airbnb. Well well worth a visit. The hosts are A+ .I will be back.
( I have encouraged Flora to put exact bus directions to her home . I know that you can catch the No 10 bus nearby from Bordeaux St Jean station. I found google maps excellent for this .)
