BREAKFAST NOT INCLUDED
My name is Vanessa, I have 3 Doubles rooms fully furnished with WIFI. Durind the year, I host students who want to study in Bordeaux. During holidays, I host holidaymakers ;)
Here the atmosphere is friendly and calm. My home is conveniently located near a tramway stop. It is the ideal place to visit the area: the city of Bordeaux but also the beaches, the vineyards...
I work a lot so I am not often at home. Sorry! But if it is true that on one hand, we may not have the time to discuss a lot, on the other hand you would enjoy a peaceful retreat without the owner around :)
I work as a piano teacher in the house. Breakfast is not included but kitchen is in free access, and you have a private space in the fridge to store your food. The rest of your food has To be kept in your room. The kitchen is too small to eat in it, you can cook in the kitchen and eat in your room if you do not want to go the the restaurants surroundings.
The use of washing machine is 10€ additional per week.

Food is not shared. Salt, oil, vinegar are not shared. Each one buy what she/he needs.
Wash your dishes and clean the worktop before leaving the kitchen. Do not let crumbs.
Cook in the kitchenette ans eat in your room as there is no table in this room.
Do not let anything lying around in the kitchen (bottles of oil, wine, rest of food…). You have one shelf for you in the fridge and you store the rest of your food in your room.
BATHROOM
Only showers allowed, do not have a bath.
Pick up your hair in the sink and the bathtub, remove any standing water.
Do not let anything (shampoo/shower gel/…) on the edge of the bathtub + sink. Keep all your products in your room
If you want to close the shutters to have a shower, do not forget to place them back properly before leaving the bathroom with the shutter fasteners (if not they will move all the day because of the wind)
COMMON AREAS
Do not leave anything lying around in the common areas (shoes, coats…). Keep it in your room.
We share expenses for: toilet paper, sponges, washing-up liquid, hand soap, bin bags but absolutely nothing more. I keep all the receipts and ask for your share the day of your departure. If you need something else (aluminum foil, plastic wrap…), buy it on your own.
WIFI is free, you do not pay for it, I share my personal line. If you are not satisfied with my WIFI, please buy your personal “clé 3G”.

Buy your own detergent. You have a clotheshorse in your room to dry your washing.
Do not use the washing machine during the piano lessons I give (the schedule is on the washing machine).
Do not start a washer after 7pm
YOUR ROOM
You are in charge with the maintenance of your room (cleaning). If you want to change your bedlinen, you have a change in your room. So you just wash the dirty one and you alternate with these two bedlinens.
If you want to host a person, ask permission and there will be a 10€ additional cost per night.

We had a lovely stay with Vanessa, the house is clean and spacious as is the large double room. Location is great and the hostess was very friendly and helpful.

Once it was clearly established that this was not a true homestay but rather a paid room with a light (very light) breakfast included, and no possibility of a "table d'hôte", the scene was set for a pleasant stay. Vanessa was kind and helpful; the room was large and well equipped, and because of an excellent public transport system (trams and buses), it was easy to reach from the airport, and to get into the city and to the railway station. Overall good to very good, depending on your expectations (and perhaps your age).
