We spent 2 nights at Cyril's flat in central Bordeaux. His place is renovated, with taste, and the bed, even though it is a pull out sofa, is as comfortable as a regular bed. Cyril was kind enough to provide supplies for a nice breakfast and a bottle of wine to welcome us. The apartment is located on a busy street but faces an inner courtyard so you don't hear too much the traffic of the main road. The noise did not disturb our sleep. And we were conveniently located close to the main pedestrian area and close enough to the river to go there for a jog on a sunny sunday afternoon. I would recommend staying at his place and would go back in case we visited Bordeaux again.
