My 4-day stay with Christine was very pleasant indeed. She is a wonderful host, has given me exact instructions on how to get fast from airport to her nice house, prepared lovely breakfast for me, has a very sweet cat.
My room was small but pretty and so was the bathroom right adjacent.
It's a 20 minutes walk to the city centre, best option is to hire a bicycle, a station is close by. Bordeaux can be wonderfully explored by bicycle!
