Lionel was a great host; very friendly, informative, and possessing of a great sense of humor. The home itself is historic, quaint, in a perfect location, and reflective of the pictures. The location really is ideal. It is within walking distance of all kinds of restaurants, as well as all the historic sites in the old town. It is a basement apartment (so careful if you aren't so good with stairs), but it gets plenty of sunlight and looks out onto a quiet backstreet. Will definitely see if this is available for the next Marathon du Medoc!
