Francoise is like the mother every teenager wished he/she had... She really cares about her guests but she doesn't tell you what to do or not to do :) (although she has a lot of suggestions about what you could do..) She called me during an incredible downpour to check if I was ok and if I needed to be picked up. It pleases her to please you, and she really goes out of her way to make your stay just that little bit more than perfect.

The house is as clean as you can keep it with a playful little dog, and since she is not allowed in the room, the room (and bathroom) is even cleaner, and exactly as advertised. It even has really good, old-fashioned window shutters if you want to sleep in in the morning. I ended up 'sleeping in' till about 8h30, went for a wonderful run along the beaches, and when I got back, Francoise had prepared a nice breakfast (or rather brunch) that I could still enjoy outside, in the small but beautiful and peaceful garden.

Biarritz is a rather small town, making your location almost irrelevant, but it's easy to get around by bus or by bike to see the region. I didn't go for surfing, but Francoises place is in a great location for surfing, and as you can read in several other comments, there are a few boards you can borrow.

I would definitely recommend her to all respectful AirBNB travelers!
