Having been to St Jean de Luz before I knew that this was a quieter residential part of town with easy access to the coastal path and beaches to the north. The apartment is adequately equipped and spacious, for a basement flat it also has high ceilings. Although there is no private outside space it is so close to the beaches and coastal parks that this isn't an issue. Thomas was easy to contact and made the effort to meet us even though he couldn't be there for our actual arrival.
