We stayed for 2 weeks in Aug with 2 children aged 6 and 4 and found Marjorie's place a great place to stay. The photos on Airbnb don't do the house justice as in reality the
house is much larger. It's a very modern open plan layout with everything on the ground floor and bedrooms off the main living space.
That itself is very big with huge sliding doors that open up the whole space onto the decking and pool area which creates a great open space. Everything you would need is there in the kitchen appliance and utensil wise.
The house is not overlooked and the pool area has a great view onto open countryside and hills. There is a wider grassed area that wraps around the house and it is entirely enclosed so with young kids you don't have to worry.
The area is very peaceful, the house is on a non through road so no real traffic and there is wooded areas around. There is a beautiful small village called Bouliac that is the area where the property is. This is an elevated suburb of Bordeaux with a fantastic view back into Bordeaux. This is about a 5 min drive or 20 min walk away. There isn't much there in the way of shops, a boulangerie, a nice looking pizzeria and another restaurant. There is also a stunning boutique hotel with a Michelin started restaurant within it that even if you are not dining you can go in for a drink and enjoy the stunning view. There is a large supermarket in the other direction about a 5 min drive from the house.
Bordeaux itself is only a 15-20 min drive into the city centre and we came in several times. Other places you may wish to get to such as St Emillon, the beaches at Cap Ferret and Arcachon are all very accessible by car all within an hour.
We have been to Bordeaux before and love the city and surrounding area and had stayed in a suburb on the opposite side of the city that was a lot more built up. This side definitely is more countrified but as easy to access everything.
I didn't get to meet Marjorie although my wife did on one of the days. I found her to be very pleasant and helpful and responsive to any questions we had.
All in all we had a great 2 weeks and if we were to come back to Bordeaux would definitely look to stay at Marjorie's place again.
