We had a great stay at Xavier's place. The apartment is very clean and well decorated, with beautiful windows that let in lots of light. It is also centrally located, putting you within a short walk of Bordeaux's main attractions. Additionally, Xavier is a wonderful host. He offered to meet up after we arrived, took us on an informal walking tour and gave us very useful tips on where to go and what to see. (A few days later, he even drove us to see Saint-Emilion! All we had to do was split the cost of petrol.) And even though he made sure to give us our privacy if we wanted it, we really enjoyed spending time with him and meeting his friends. Would definitely recommend this place!
