Apartment is recently renovated, very modern, and clean - so new that you can still smell the wooden floors and furniture! The street is very quiet, allowing you to sleep with the windows open (and in the dark, as the blinds are great). While not in downtown Biarritz, there is a bus stop about 200 meters away and you can get to the heart of the city in maybe 10 minutes (1 Euro per trip, payable on the bus); it is even walkable in about 20-25 minutes. You can park your car on the street, although it gets fairly busy with other cars in the evening. In that case, you can always park in a nearby street. There are a few stores within walking distance too. Overall, a great place to stay!
