Our family of 5 has spent the past 6 weeks traveling England, France and Spain, staying in AirBnBs and vacation rentals so we consider ourselves experts now on what a good vacation rental should provide and what are reasonable expectations! Christine was a wonderful host, very flexible on arrival and departure time, meeting us and showing us her home, providing a fridge stocked with breakfast foods and treats for our girls, and helping us make the most of our short time in Bordeaux with great tips. Her home was very clean, and she provided things that other hosts hadn't (little things can make a big difference... extra pillows, extra bath mats to step out on, two kinds of coffee to choose from, sufficient toilet paper for a family of 5, even a basket of international chargers for travelers!) The house had a great feel-- rustic staircase and walls, high ceilings, great decor! Beds were very comfy with thick duvets and electric room darkening shades. As other reviewers had mentioned, it's not in the city center, but the walk across the bridge to all the tourist sites was beautiful and quick and easy (even with a 6 year old) and we did take the tram once back when we were tired which was also simple (Christine explained ahead of time how to do it.) The street parking was easy and not too expensive -- I think we paid about 14 euros for the day. In summary, this was our last stop and we only had one night there, but it was one of our favorite places and if you're considering Bordeaux, it's a beautiful, easily manageable city (felt like a mini-Paris!) and Christine's wonderful home felt like a 5 star-hotel! Only wish we'd could have stayed longer!
