Unfortunately we were not able to meet Aicha but she stayed in contact throughout to make sure that everything was ok and to confirm all the little details around check-in and check-out.

Her place is fantastic. It is in a great neighbourhood, very easy to get around Bordeaux and a short walk from Gare St Jean. Thankfully her place was nice and cool in the high heat (39c) of summer with a lovely breeze coming through the windows.

The short stroll by Basilique Saint-Michel towards the river was a highlight of each day.

We had a very good trip to Bordeaux and this was made all the more easy by staying at Aicha's place. We hadn't even got on the plane home when we were discussing our next trip to Bordeaux and stay at Aicha's place.
