Helene's place is great for the solo traveller, could be alright for a couple. Location is central with Cote des Basques and the Grande Plage well within walking distance (even with a surfboard under your arm) as well as many good restaurants and Les Halles. The bus to and from the airport stops a one or two minutes walk. The room is in the basement of a hotel, but there is a side-entrance that you can use (if you're wearing your wetsuit, for example). The staff were very nice and even arranged on site storage for the surf board I had rented. The toilet is in the room, so there would be little privacy if two people were staying, although there is another two flights up the stairs. I'd highly recommend the room for a short stay and will likely be back. Thanks!
