Jerome is a perfect host and very friendly. My family had a great stay with him and his lovely family, and he was so kind in the way he shared information and his garden. I strongly recommend a stay with him as it is a very affordable base from which to explore Bordeaux (I have been to most major French cities, and Bordeaux is my favourite...why do people bother with Paris?)
Not a negative, but worth bearing in mind: Balto is a very friendly and large Dalmatian. We loved him, but those nervous around dogs might find it an issue.
