10/10
My husband and I enthusiastically recommend a stay at this Bordeaux townhouse.
Aude-Marie was an extraordinary host, taking about an hour to introduce us to the features of the house, and most importantly giving us invaluable information on Bordeaux, complete with annotated maps. Awesome!
The neighborhood seemed extremely safe, with lots of families. The home was only a block from the gorgeous public garden.
The townhouse was built in the late 1800s, and is obviously a portion of what was once a grand mansion. Your hosts have lovingly crafted a three bedroom dwelling within the restrictions of the old building. As noted in other reviews, it is on three high-ceilinged levels, connected by a lovely spiral staircase. Take note if you have mobility issues or if this would be an issue for children in your group.
As noted in other reviews, each toilet is in a separate little room of its own. The one for which it's impossible to shut the door was not a problem for us, as it opens into a small hallway of which the doors can be shut at either end.
I loved the hosts' aesthetic, mixing the bones of the old house with eclectic furnishings. Great modern bath fittings, lovely bedding, art on the walls reflecting the best of Bordeaux. The hosts even arranged neighborhood parking for us for a small fee.
