If you are going to Bordeaux, I strongly recommend stay at typhaine's place. First, her location is just prefect. The location is safe! Its a 5 mins walk to the tram station. The tram will take you to all over the city. Second, she is a really nice host. Whatever I asked her about the city, she told me. Finally, the room is lovely! Clean and quiet! I really enjoy the time i spent at her place:)
