We had a wonderful experience at Om Sweet Om! Christophe is so personable, helpful, private and sweet - he also speaks great English.
The apartment is very open, clean and spacious, especially our room! We felt so welcome and at home within the few minutes of getting there. We made friends with his kitten Leto right away too, such a friendly guy! :)
Loved having breakfast on his outside terrace every morning, what a great start to our day! Perfect location as it is a few blocks away from the tram which we used every day and connects you to everything you need.
As for recommendations for other guests:
Our first night we visited a great pub a few blocks away called the Golden Apple, great hearty food and everyone speaks English.
The next day we visited the Dune du Pilat on the coast which we highly recommend to all! Just a 40 min train ride then 20 min bus ride, absolutely beautiful! Then we came back and explored the heart of Bordeaux, it is not hard to find restaurants along the main streets, especially easy to find ones that speak English as it is very touristy!
If you keep the windows open at night it can tend to be a little noisy but after long days we fell right asleep!
