I had a great experience at Ben's place. He is very welcoming and warm, I felt like home the moment I arrived. He offered me a lot of tips on places to visit in Bordeaux, he shared time with me at dinner and even helped me with my French. The place is stylish and tidy, and the location is very good, as long as you don't mind taking a bus or a tram to town. I recommend this place 100%, I sure will repeat if I get the chance!
