Our stay at Yves's place was truly wonderful. It was probably one of our best airbnb experiences over the years, ever since we joined in 2015. Before we even arrived, Yves told us to get weekly public transport tickets, which was a great tip and saved us a lot of money and hassle. We were picked up by our host at the bus stop, and then lead to a beautiful and functional apartment where every detail was thought through and intended to make our stay pleasant. If that wasn't enough, there was a bouquet of fresh flowers for us and a kitchen full of food. There was orange juice, milk, eggs and snacks in the fridge, more snacks on the shelves, supplies to make a quick dinner in case we needed one (or more than one!), two coffee machines with capsules, a selection of tea, and fresh fruit. On top of that, our host gave us a bottle of wine as well!
We came with our 3 year old and Yves provided us with some books she loved! Not only that, he also provided us with bathrobes including an adorable small bathrobe that was just her size!
The bed was extremely comfortable (and a small toddler bed was waiting for our child, too!). Among other thoughtful details were small ceiling lamps that would turn on ( and off) if they sensed movement, all the way from the bedroom upstairs to the bathroom downstairs.
During our stay we could easily contact our host and he would reply instantaneously (he lives close by). He brought more playthings for our daughter and delicious treats for us.
We had plenty of opportunities to chat with him about our day but he never intruded on us after parting for the evening.
The area is well connected. It's a street away from where the airport/train-station bus has it's stop.
We can't recommend it enough! We'd love to come back here some day and we're going to tell all our friends to stay at Yves's place, if they're planning to visit Bordeaux.
Fellow traveller, if this place came up in your results, you should stop searching further and just book it!
Thank you Yves!
