the location is definitely a must, between city and the famous côte des basques! mike was very helpful and flexible regarding time of arrival and departure, the bed very confortable, the flat was clean, eventhough a bit expensive for the size of the apartment I think. on our first day under the rain it was quite dark in the apartment (ground floor) but then with the sun coming it did evolve in a very nice stay, and only 10 min walks from the beach, this was perfect :) thanks!
