Louis and his wife were extremely friendly and helpful in getting me settled into the cozy accommodations. The room was clean, with beautiful old linen sheets and embroidered pillow cases on the bed. There was fresh baguette, pain au chocolat and a croissant ready for my arrival with also a dish of fresh fruit and cold bottles of mineral water in the mini fridge. I slept in the futon (comfy) as I didn't want to tackle with the ladder from the mezzanine to go to the bathroom in the hall way in the middle of the night. The water closet, including toilet, tiny sink and small shower were very clean but really very tight. It was hot in the room but there was a fan. The room had everything one would need but it does not have a window to the outside for fresh air. The building itself is beautiful and Louis has done a great deal of the renovating himself. The quarter is ideal - everything is within walking distance in Bordeaux!
