Had a nice stay at Frederick's place while attending a conference at the University of Bordeaux. Frederick was great-- he helped me find parking and get setup in the apartment. The apartment is fully equipped and we enjoyed the espresso maker and washer and dryer. The apartment was also very clean and the neighbors were quiet. The apartment does get a little hot without AC (typical in France), but with fans and having the windows open it was just fine. Other than that no complaints!
