Ben is a truly fantastic host. As well as being a friendly and welcoming person he is very knowledgable about the area and its history, and is a brilliant cook! I would advise that if you like the idea of sampling local cuisine in the presence of good company, Ben's clean and comfortable appartment is exactly what you are looking for. I found the location ideal as it was out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre, but only a short bus ride in - perfect for a getaway!
I cannot wait to come back to Bordeaux and hope to be a guest at Ben's again!
