I lived in France for 4 months while attending school and I could not have chosen a better place to spend it. The neighborhood of Pessac is very nice and quiet and since the tram stop is right around the corner from the house, it is also very easy to get to the Bordeaux city center. In addition, Marie and her daughter (and the cat) are some of the nicest people I have ever met! The room was great and they accommodated for my every need I could possibly have while living there. From picking me up at the airport, giving me a tour of the places I will need to be / go, setting up a doctors appointment for me and so much more, Marie went above and beyond to make sure I adjusted smoothly and became familiarized with the area. They always offered to bring me around and take me places like I was part of the family also, and for that I will always be grateful.
