What an incredible welcome from Mathieu and his family. They greeted us in person with his wife and youngest in tow. They left a welcome gift of caneles on the kitchen table which was an incredible gesture. His wife showed us around, the lock system to enter and how to use the heaters. This is a beautiful historic home just two streets down from the unesco first road in Bordeaux, next to the beautiful Jardin public garden.
The home is three floors in a quiet neighborhood and about a 12 minute walk to the heart of downtown. Incredibly safe even at 2 am.
We had a minor issue with the water system but Mathieu was incredibly attentive and even came by within 15 mins to take care of the situation personally. You won't find that type of hospitality and response from any other host, especially someone on a Friday night when he is busy with his large family. His professionalism and courtesy says a lot his air bnb property.
The location is also about a 5 minute walk to the nearest tram which will take you in town. Will def try to stay here again in the future!!
