The location and value was great, just like staying at a hotel, in fact. It was very nice to be able to exit the building on the seaside to get to the beach quickly and walk/swim. Close to a spar for some groceries and convenient to get around town as its just along the water and 15 minutes walk either to la rocher de vierge or the phare de Biarritz. The windows blocked noise of traffic from the street below very well. I very much enjoyed the Italian-style shower after a day at the beach! Only sad part was that the private pool was closed, but that was nothing to do with the host so do not hold that against them and besides we did have good enough weather to swim in the sea which is better anyways!
