Pierre Emmanuel's apartment was a perfect base for me and my friend during our week in Biarritz. Self check-in instructions were sent to me a few days before my arrival, and it went seamlessly. It is only a few minutes' walk to several great restaurants, a Carrefour City, and the stairs down to the Côtes des Basques beach. It's a few more minutes of a close walk to the center of town. The apartment is ideally situated in a calm, quiet neighborhood. On the 2nd (top) floor of a three-unit house, it was well-equipped to accommodate me and my friend in separate bedrooms, but it is a true family apartment that can hold up to a family of 5 (one bedroom with a double bed, a second bedroom with a bunk bed and a crib. Note that there is only a shower and no tub.) There is a high chair, as well. I found the vacuum really useful to keep the floors clean after coming back from the beach, as well as a washing machine and drying rack! The kitchen is fully-equipped with a little dining island for 4). There is a great library of French books to choose from. It's a great, homey, cosy place with tall ceilings. Like most homes, there is no AC, but at night, it cools down--and with the windows open, there is a nice cross breeze.
