Jacques and his wife were amazing hosts. They live right upstairs and they can help you with anything, but they never bother you. He is very accommodating with sharing his garage, and was very helpful when we had trouble getting into the neighborhood. Whenever we needed his help he was available, and he was always prompt in his communications. His English is also very good for those English-speaking tourists for whom that is important. You are five minutes walking distance from every amazing restaurant and bakery in downtown Bordeaux, but you’re also far enough from the main road that you do not hear a thing at night when everybody else is partying. If you want to join the party you’re just two steps away from it though. They were also very accommodating with a highchair and crib and all necessary linens for our six month old. But more than anything, we can definitely say that for eight days we felt as if we were in our own house smack dab in the center of Bordeaux, thanks to our hosts
