This was a very good AirBnB experience: There were no negative surprises and everything was exactly as advertised. The house is just one block from the oceanside promenade.
This is our 9th AirBnB. We stayed for 3 nights. We are 67 and 69 years old: Initial Access to Apartment was average, we called Fabienne when we arrived, she was there in about 5 minutes; Cleanliness was average, the apartment was clean: Location was above average, just one block off of the beach, St. Jean de Luz is a wonderful low-key location, great place to enjoy and from which to explore other Basque areas : View from House was below average, could mostly only see other buildings, but this is reflected in the price: Kitchen Facilities were above average, everything that you need; Temperature Control was above average, controls in each section of the house…traveling in cold weather we were always perfectly comfortable: Parking was above average, private parking in garage and plenty of room on the street; Quiet, above average, we were not traveling during the tourist season but there were no sounds that disturbed us day or night: Safety - average, we felt safe at all times.
This apartment is on the third floor of a worn but very functional apartment building. Indoor parking and elevator to third floor opens right across from apartment entrance. The kitchen and second shower are updated and extremely nice.
We only interacted with Fabienne twice, when we checked in, she explained everything that we needed to know thoroughly in English. She let us know we could contact her if we needed to. We did not need to. We met her again upon leaving as she stopped over to say goodbye.
Hint: If you have only one meal in Saint-Jean-de-Luz it should be at Chez Maya Petit Grille Basque. It is an intimate 10 table Basque restaurant.
We highly recommend this apartment for two travelers who enjoy cooking a few of their own meals. You will not be disappointed.
