Alyssa and Olivier's flat is every bit as beautiful as it appears in the photos and proved a welcome respite after a week of camping at Dune du Pilat. The location is great - the flat is very close to some great museums and the city center. Our main issue with the flat concerns value for money and general hospitality. For more than €200 per night, I would expect to have somewhere to put our clothes apart from a suitcase on the floor. It was also somewhat puzzling that the lovely terrace lacks seating for a family of four (there is just a 2-seater bench), and to find the only other cooking pot (apart from a very large stock pot) sitting in the fridge full of cooked pasta. These details, along with the rather tentative response I received from Alyssa the day before our arrival, made us feel rather less welcome in their home. With no fan, a lack of windows in two of the three bedrooms, and an inappropriately heavy duvet, it was also very hot and stuffy at night. My husband and I barely slept, despite that the beds were otherwise very comfortable. All in all, we enjoyed our visit in Bordeaux and in Olivier and Alyssa's home. And with a few improvements on the part of the hosts, I'm sure that you will too.
