Fred was very welcoming. He met us at the beginning of his street and walked us to the apartment, before carrying my bag upstairs. He gave great advice and maps for places to visit and public transport. The apartment was exceptionally good - spacious, elegant, peaceful, well equipped, and beautifully renovated - a hidden pearl. The price was very reasonable. The location is excellent; easy access by tram from the station and within walking distance to most attractions. It's in a quiet street, so very easy to sleep at night, yet close to busy cafes and meeting places. I recommend Fred and his wonderful apartment to anyone visiting Bordeaux.
