We spent a week at Marcel's place. In the suburbs of Bordeaux. We wanted just a pool holiday after spending a week walking around Paris. Both Marcel & his wife were very welcoming when we arrived. Despite our poor French they explained how to use everything really well. The house had everything we needed. It's exceptionally clean. kitchen well equipped. pool gorgeous. Just take flip flops as wooden decking means you can get splinters. Marcel even leaves mosquito repellants for indoors and outdoors so you can enjoy eating outdoors in the evening. Great utility room. Spacious lounge. Shower is a rainfall and handheld shower which is lovely.
We decided not to hire a car this time, and could get by using taxis via Uber. The shops are within walking distance. A Carrefour, Lidl, Picard. As well as a great artisan bakery and fruit and veg shop near the roundabout. The only thing was we booked on the basis of there being 3 beds as advertised but the third bed was actually a toddler bed which is put up on request. But we got around it and the teens shared as it was only us 4. 1 double and 1 queen bed is what we had.
Overall we cannot fault this property, it suited our needs, and was in a good location to access amenities without a car. They even had a shopping trolley!
Marcel is excellent at getting back to you. Super hosts.
