Melanie was such a warm person who welcomed us into her home and treated us like family.. making sure we got everything prepared before starting the Camino and driving us to the pilgrim office, dinner, etc. The house is really interesting as its a few centuries old and there are amazing views from all the rooms. It's just about a 20 minute walk into St Jean Pied de Port, too, if you'd rather walk than catch a ride with Melanie. She was so kind, helpful and even took pictures for us at the start of our walk. I would recommend her place for anyone who is starting off the camino in SJPP.
