We had a lovely stay at Reine's apartment in central Biarritz. We would highly recommend it and if we traveled to Biarritz again, we wouldn't hesitate in staying in the apartment.
We are a young couple and found everything we need in the studio style apartment with a en suite. The facilities are all there for you if you wanted to eat in but we highly recommend the top quality restaurants near by (literally 2 mins walk away). The apartment includes a sofa-bed that is very comfy, all kitchenware (including a coffee machine and coffee), towels, fan, TV and many more such necessities/luxuries.
The journey from the airport to the flat took about 30 mins (10 mins bus/20 mins walk. The bus journey was easy and cost only 1 euro! The ground floor apartment was easy to find and in a three story building with multiple flats. It is 5 mins walk away from the nearest surfing beach but there is a nicer beach with tamer water for families about 15 mins walk away.
The center of Biarritz is about 10 mins walk away. It is a beautiful city with scenic beaches, grand walks along the coast, fantastic restaurants, a great lighthouse that you can go up in and a little harbor with some tasty fish.
We very much enjoyed the aquarium. The seals, sharks and jellyfish were particularly impressive. All the attractions I mentioned previously are in walking distance. The train station is a short bus journey away that can be caught basically outside the apartment.
The host Reine was absolutely amazing. Very friendly and helpful. We went to all the places she suggested, including a lovely little town called Guéthary that was a short train journey away. Reine was accommodating and kind throughout our stay. The previous occupants left a bit of an issue that Reine did her utmost to resolve in the time we were there. I'm sure this is resolved now. I cannot express what length Reine went to, to ensure we had a pleasant time in Biarritz.
We would like to take one last chance to say thanks to Reine and that we are grateful for such a great holiday!
Thanks,
Gil and Joe
