Marie's home is lovely, good location and beautifully designed and decorated--you can tell Marie's an architect. It was quiet and cool in the summer heat of Bordeaux, a perfect home away from home for out little group (a couple plus friend). It's all quite "open space" with a window between the bedroom and living room and no door between the bathroom and bedroom (just a curtain), so not a ton of privacy, but that was no problem for us and it certainly felt spacious enough for 3 people. Communication with and reception by Marie's mom Fabienne was fantastic.
