This airbnb was generally a good experience.
The location is in a quaint but impersonal suburban neighbourhood in hendaye practically straddling the french Spanish border. A few easy kilometres get you to the largest Basque beach and the centre of Hendaye - it is acxessible by car, bike or foot. Within proximity are the charming Saint Jean de Luse, Hondarribia and Biarritz, and in judt ovr half an hour you're in The bustling city of San Sebastian.
The hosts were away but reactive amd quick to answer questions by messages. The house itself has a large open downstairs area with eclectic vibrant furniture and decor, and the open floor plan makes it vast and breathable. The garden is pleasant if not a bit small... a pool and a few sun loungers would have made it all the better (especially in the hot august 2022 days...). The bedrooms are a good size , and with three bathrooms and a toilet there is no lack of choice for where to take a shower.
Another big sell in favour of the house is the property pet that hovers about, a long haires black and white cat that purrs joyously.
However it must be said that for the price (quite steep), it is a little lacking in a few areas. The biggest issue is the downstairs bedroom: it comprises of a connected bedroom-bathroom, and smells of humidity, especially when using the shower. It should also be noted that the upstairs children's bedrooms (we did not use them as we were only three) have single, short beds and would perhaps not provide most average sized adults with the most comfortable nights rest, however they would be good for children.
The kitchen is generally well equipped with a nespresso coffee machine. However, make sure to buy coffee pods and body wash as these were not provided by the hosts.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay in Hendaye , and we highly recommend renting electric bikes to explore the surrounding beaches amd towns.
