Jackye is a fabulous host. Her apartment is in a super quiet residential area just a short (10 mins) walk across the river to the vibrant and busy city center. The apartment is just as modern and nice as it appears in photos. Although I will say the bedroom and bathroom are significantly smaller than I thought they would would be, even for French standards. Equally surprising is that the bed is placed up against one wall, so there is no room to get in and out without crawling to the end or over your bedmate. This aside, there are nice touches throughout the room, such as a variety of toiletry items to use, slippers, comfortable bed, soft linens, etc. The beautiful balcony added to the comfort and living space of guests, as did occasional visits from her sweet dog, Willy. Best of all, Jackye surprised us with a lovely, refreshing aperitif and a snack when we were outside reading on a warm evening. In the morning she provided a breakfast of coffee, juice, a flan-like dish, and pastries. Oh, and free parking under the building was a plus, too! I wouldn't hesitate to stay at her apartment if we ever pass through Bordeaux again.
