I was a little surprised, as I got the impression from the listing that it was not someone's home, but instead a vacation rental.
I arrived and there was dirty laundry in the closet, as well as dirty laundry in the laundry basket in the bathroom. The host's clothing and gym bag were occupying the closet and the bedroom.
The water pressure was really bad in the shower, and it was difficult to get the water to heat up enough to feel warmed by taking a shower.
I didn't mind these things so much as I was more surprised by them, considering the expense to rent the place and the appearance of it on the listing.
Overall, the space was still clean, I was able to find a space to put my stuff, and I made due with the water pressure issue. However, I was only there for a few days. Perhaps I would have viewed this differently if I had stayed for longer?
The location is absolutely fantastic. Right on the main walking street in central Bordeaux. Also, the kitchen was well stocked and it was a joy to cook, considering the host left me an array of spices to use.
The people who manage the place were very kind and great with responding to my messages. If I come to Bordeaux again, I will stay here.
