The location is great being a short walk from the ocean and in the center of town. The apartment is spacious, beautifully decorated and everything looks new and clean. The shower is lovely. The wifi is fast and strong and the flat screen TV is a really good size with several cable channels.

All the appliances work great and are new and clean. I did not cook, but everything you need to do so is there - including olive oil, salt and pepper. However, no coffee was provided and I did not have enough coffee filters for every morning of my stay, so I had to buy coffee and re-use filters.

Assumedly because Chris allows pets, I suffered from allergies during my stay. In particular from sleeping on the grey couch bed, which was not comfortable, so I was happy to have switched to the other couch bed. There was no "real bed" there at the time of my stay. The fitted sheet he gave me was too small to fit either mattress properly, which I found amusing!

I think the biggest improvements Chris could make would be to have the grey couch cleaned inside and out to remove pet hairs/dander and provide a bath mat so you have something to step on after showering. Another concern was he agreed to provide a bath towel, but the one he gave me was rough, stained and had a very foul smell to it. I would have washed it, but the washer is in a nearby laundry room, not in the studio and I just didn't want to deal with it. I had too many places to go in too short a time! He also asked me to permit a worker to enter the apartment to make repairs more than once during my week-long stay, which is something that I think an AirBNB host should not do. The first time I agreed, the second time I refused.

Due to the free parking a short walk away, I rented a car for the first time in Europe, which I HIGHLY recommend doing if you can. The lot may be full in the mornings, but it's mostly empty in the evenings. Biarritz is a great place to use a home base while exploring all the really cool places in the area from San Sebastian to Saint-Jean-de-Luz to the hillside villages of the Basque region. There is so much to do and see and it's all less than an hour's drive away!

Considering the price, location, amenities and everything else, I think you will find staying at this studio well worth your money. I had a great time staying there and wish I could have stayed much longer!
