My stay with Patricia was awesome. The house is pretty much right on the beach. A 2 minute walk leaves with a great view of the beach and nearby restaurants. It is best to have cars but it is not necessary if you want to make it work. I suggest having a car if you want to travel outside of Biarritz. I did not have a car but was still able to see the sights and enjoy the beaches. She cannot speak English but did her best to communicate and was extremely helpful, I definitely recommend.
