Valerie offered a spacious room and large bathroom for an amazing price. There are quite a lot of steps to get to the room if you are traveling with a lot of luggage. The Wifi connection was great. We were able to walk about 10 minutes to find transportation into town and also a 10 minute walk to various places to eat but the location is kind of off the beaten track, and if I were to go back, I would book something much closer to the center of town. It was very hot in Bordeaux and the room was very hot even though Valerie provided a fan – this is not her fault just circumstances of the weather. Shower floor was very slippery for me and not a lot of lighting if you are showering at night after a long day out exploring in the heat. But for the cost, you cannot beat staying here.
