We could not have dreamed for a better location. This apartment is ideally situated about 100m from the sea. You literally wake up to the sights and sounds of the waves! It's a charming mid-twentieth century apartment situated on the top floor of a building on rue du Port Vieux, which takes you directly to the emblematic Plage du Port Vieux. From here, you are equidistant from both la Côte des Basques and La Grande Plage. The city center and hip restaurant areas are a 5 min walk away. Everything is within walking distance, including the supermarket, the local covered food market, bars, restaurants, surf rentals... There are also busses nearby which take you to the train station and airport in about 30 min, as they are both somewhat distant from the seaside.
When we arrived at the apartment, there was an issue with the internet connection. Normally, this would not have been on problem as we were on vacation. But my partner was on remote work for the second week of our stay. Alexandra was super accommodating and managed to get us a 4G hotspot in time.
The apartment is definitely has lots of charm. The bedroom has a small terrace overlooking the sea which is ideal for romantic dinners for two. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who wish to cook at home and there is a large living/dining room with a table which can seat 6 to 8 people. But just as with any older flat, it is a bit dusty. The bathroom and bed linens could also use a refresh.
