This is a 'bed and breakfast' style set-up in a nice large old house in a residential/student area just south of the old town (main tourist area in Bordeaux) and close to the train station. There are about 4 rooms upstairs sharing a kitchen, a shower, sink and two toilets on the first floor, and there seems to be a similar set-up on the ground floor. The host (Vasfi) lives on the ground floor. The room was very large and simply but nicely furnished and decorated. All areas were clean to a good standard. I thought there may be queues for the shared bathroom, but I never had to queue while I was there. Vasfi does not have perfect English but he was a very nice and accommodating host - especially helping me with my backpacker laundry! There was some noise outside my room from neighbours on the two nights during my stay, but Vasfi asked me if it affected me, and was apologetic, and I understand this is not a usual occurrence. Overall I found the room to be good value.
