Everything that everyone has said about Sophie is true!!! She is such a bright light!!! She made me feel incredibly welcome and looked after.
Her house is up the hill from the beach, about a 10-15 minute walk, but it’s a beautiful walk past cool homes and a park. It’s also very close to some cool townie restaurants, a grocery store, and 3 of the mansions of the original prominent Biarritz families.
Her apartment is a bit funky, but in a charming way. She has plants and animals and crystals and surf boards … it felt like staying w my favorite aunt or grandmother. She embraced me and welcomed me in the most generous fashion, even opening a bottle of the local liqueur for me and offering to give it to me!!! She also drove me to the train station. I feel like I made a good friend in her and just love her to bits!!!
Her two dogs are so sweet too, but if you’re not a dog person, don’t worry because she takes them to work every day and wherever she goes.
The apartment is eclectic but matches her personality.
Again, I felt welcomed and taken care of here and highly recommend staying here.
