The stay with Melanie was absolutely lovely. Sarah and I had a great time staying in this fabulous Basque house with an amazing view of the town of Saint Jean Pied de Port and surrounded by nature. The house is a bit like a museum, Melanie has a great eye for antique furniture and other decorations that you can admire. We really enjoyed these little artefacts in her house! The room was very cosy we stayed in and despite that old farmhouses are usually very cold the room was nice and warm and the bed even had a heating blanket!! Also... The bed in general was just amazing. I think it is the best bed I ever slept in. It is like you would sleep in a cosy warm cloud. I asked Melanie if I can buy it from her but unfortunately, that is not possible because she wants other people to enjoy the bed as well. (fair enough) . Also, Melanie is not just a host but also a tour guide. When we arrived she picked us up all the way from Espelette because we got stuck there and then she drove with her car through the town and explained to us about the history and gave us some tips on what we can do.
I highly recommend going to this Air BNB , Saint Jean Pied de Port is already a beautiful sleepy and dreamy city but then staying with Melanie made it a very relaxing weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer. :) Thank you for everything!
