I can only effervesce about how amazing this apartment was.
To start, the location could not be better. In my opinion, this is the best part of town. It still has a grounded feel to it. Other parts of Biarritz can so often seem arrogant and entitled. This part of town is quiet but with a vibrance and has so much to offer.
The apartment is just steps away from one of the best views of the sea in Biarritz - a great place to watch sunsets! Just one block away you have some lovely restaurants, cafes and a small grocery store. Within about 10 minutes walk, you will find yourself in the heart of Biarritz's market district with all of its restaurants, bars and of course one of the best markets in France.
The apartment itself if elegant and full of light from both sides. There are big bright windows both front and back. The living area opens out onto a small patio, ideal for an apéro.
The decorations are minimalistic but lovely. The kitchen is well stocked and there are two bedrooms. As there were just the two of us, we used the second bedroom for suitcases and clothes. A big beautiful fireplace with bookshelves spans the entire wall in the living room. And the books sitting on the shelves are wonderful.
And finally, finding parking was a real bonus. If you know Biarritz, you know that finding parking in and of the residential areas is next to impossible. I wouldn't recommend anything larger than a medium-sized car though as the garage is tight.
Yves was an excellent host. Great communication and very helpful.
In a word, I would describe this apartment as Perfect. One of the best we've ever stayed in with Airbnb.
We hope we have the chance to stay here again!
