Just spent four nights at Hervé's place in Biarritz in order to attend the 2017 FIPA film festival. The apartment was exactly as advertised. Basic, down to earth, well matched price ... and close to *everything*. The apartment itself doesn't face the view, but it is located within mere meters of one of the most spectacular coast lines in all of France and plumb smack among some of the nicest old port streets and shops you could ask for. In that sense, the location is very, very special indeed.
Due to my poor hearing I had asked for text contact rather than voice and Hervé responded within minutes if not seconds on every single occasion, seemingly 24 hours a day.
Within expectations and at the proper price for January, I happily recommend this unit especially to people who delight in spectacular seascapes and old harbour character streets.
