    Stéphanie y Romain han sido unos grandes anfitriones. Siempre muy atentos conmigo, brindándome aquellos detalles que te hacen sentir integrado. Con ellos conocí "l'appéro", que es una instancia de convivencia en la que nos pudimos conocer mejor, y en la que me entregaron orientación y consejos que me han ayudado mucho a desenvolverme en el contexto francés. Con ellos me sentí muy cómodo y seguro, ya que sabía que podía contar con su cercanía y buena disposición. Creo que establecimos un vínculo muy especial!!
    Respecto de las instalaciones, estas eran muy confortables y prácticas. El entorno muy seguro, tranquilo, con servicios y transporte cercanos. Excelente!!

    My son stayed with Stephanie & her family for a week, whilst he carried out his exams. He absolutely loved staying with them, he said the whole family made him feel at home & would like to keep in touch with them. I would highly recommend a homestay with Stephanie & her family.

    If you want to experience true genuine french hospitality I highly recommend staying with Stéphanie and her lovely family. I stayed for just under 2 weeks and loved getting pampered with fantastic dinners every night (Stéphanie even knows how to cook incredible vegan dishes!) and a daily routine of having a glass of wine and a chat by the outdoor pool before dinner. The house is newly built and decorated tastefully. The guest room is huge and comfortable and despite being a bigger family everything runs smoothly and peacefully. I really loved every day of my stay and can only recommend other future guests to stay here!

    The room is very spacious and nice with a skylight. Stéphanie is a wonderful cook and the family is very hospitable. I would highly recommend staying with this lovely traditional french family to be able to experience the complete package of Bordeaux; the Culture, the Language, and the city. it is close to the tram so getting anywhere is very easy.
