OM Sweet Home B&B was my first encounter with Air B'nB and the entire concept of staying at another person's flat ... with them there! Though I was initially reluctant, after reading the many positive reviews I decided to go for it as this time in Bordeaux I wanted other than the routine hotel experience.

It was an opportunity to economize a bit and also to gain some local insight & color thanks to the interaction expected with the host.

Christophe and his apartment were exactly as represented on the site! The photos of his apartment were in line with the real thing...that totally "zen" asian/oriental environment that you see in the photos (and that everyone talks about in the other reviews). The guy has an amazing green thumb.

The aquariums and the whole bit fascinated my son (though not quite as much as the Japanese manga cartoons on TV.)

And Christophe was a genuinely super nice person and took the time to acquaint me with the city and provide maps, suggestions and the like.

So though it was a very short stay (2 nights), it was a rather pleasant visit. Merci Christophe for being an accommodating and gentle host.
