Ben is a fantastic host who gives you a lot of info about of the area. I really enjoyed the daily ferry boat ride on the Gironde into town which is quite unique and very relaxing. Ben gives you all the freedom you need and he enjoys getting to know other people. He made me a very nice and unexpected meal the first day. I highly recommend his place. The boat ride gives his place a very special feel. Bordeux is just a boat ride down the road!
