Louis did a great job welcoming us and having the studio ready for our very early arrival on the Sunday morning. He spent some time to take us through the key sites to visit within Bordeaux. He had sent through very detailed directions to get to the place (fortunately we had CityMapper as those directions are now out of date, but he's now aware). We had planned to catch a cab but it's easy enough to catch the cheap city bus for €1.50 to get there. It's perfectly situated close to the city centre and to key attractions, all within walking distance or close to the bus and tram. The studio had all the appliances needed for a comfortable stay, like a toaster, cooker, microwave, tv (although no English channels). Don't expect too much from shower, but it worked perfectly fine. The only thing is that Louis and his wife actually live upstairs and the sound travels through the door as the patio area is a small courtyard with their bedroom window above in the same area so this is most definitely not suitable for loud parties/groups. My friend and I didn't realise this until the second night when we were left laughing uncontrollably whilst watching Graham Norton on YouTube and felt terrible as we didn't realise the sound travelled so easily as their bedroom window was just above in the courtyard/patio and had to reign it in.
Nevertheless, we were thankful for a lovely clean place on the ground floor (we had 2 large suitcases whilst on our travels), although the heavily cobbled streets of Bordeaux with their small footpaths were a challenge to navigate with large luggage so something to keep in mind. It was very sweet for Louis to have the fridge stocked with drinks and milk and even a small bottle of wine (which my friend got to benefit from as I don't actually drink).
Sadly, I left a new top that I'd ironed and forgotten in the wardrobe and had never worn, and host requested €20 for this to be posted to me, which cost more than the top itself, so this was disappointing, but this was my fault for forgetting it but unfortunately slightly puts a dent on my memories of this stay. As long as you don't forget anything important and you're not too loud, you'll really enjoy a comfy stay here.
