I stayed in Arlene's place for a month in winter - working and enjoying getting to know Biarritz.
The apartment was in a perfect location for that. Close to the beach, close to the few good coffee places, close to the market, close to the cinema, close to the restaurants. Perfect.
Also, like one of the other guests (James?) very helpfully mentioned: the kitchen in the flat was pretty well fitted out with pots and pans and oven trays etc., which made it very easy to prepare delicious stuff bought at the market.
Arlene was a great host. Very responsive and flexible at checkin, very easy checkout and checking in after a few days that everything was fine.
Thanks, Arlene, I had a great time in Biarritz.
