I had read the reviews before booking Françoise & Gilles's place for 3 nights in Bordeaux, so I knew it would have been a very nice stay. Well, let me tell you, "very nice" is an understatement: our stay was AMAZING!!! Just a few tips for you, future travellers:
1. Don't listen to Google Maps: it made us took 2 different buses to get from the train station to the Airbnb place and it seemed as if we travelled for 1 hour before getting there. Wrong! This Airbnb is VERY CENTRAL: just walk 15min from the main tram station Quinconques, which is right in the city center... and there you are! PLUS: a new tram line is being built right now and as of next year there will be a tram station just a few minutes walk from the house.
2. Listen to Françoise. She was the sweetest host ever and took a lot of time to give us suggestions on where to eat, what to visit and how to get around. She knows ALL the best places in Bordeaux! If you're too tired to get out in the evening, there are lots of restaurants just a couple of streets away where we ate really well.
3. If you're looking for a place to party hard, then this is not for you. However, if you're looking for a great relaxing stay, just book this place. The neighbourhood is really quiet and residential, which we appreciated a lot at night.
Enjoy your stay!
