I found Bens apartment to be an ideal place to explore Bordeaux. Lormont is a quite neighbourhood, yet an area with a lot of history. It is easily accessible by three forms of public transport (tram, bus and boat) from the centre of Bordeaux. It had a good selection of places to eat and a large park adjacent.
The apartmet was very comfortable, quite and exceptionally clean.
Ben was very helpfun with advice on what to see in the area and provided everything a visitor could need, he suggested that my couple of days wantn't enough time to explore the sights of Bordeaux and how right he was, you need to book week here . . .
This was my first visit to Bordeaux (my fist visit to France in 12 years), but since my return I've already bought a travel guide to plan my return visit.
