Nicolas was a great host. He was very quick to respond and very flexible. The apartment is a good price for size and desirable city. The location is very quiet. No immediate shops around, but a corner shop is a few blocks away and the St. Charles hub is about 5-10min walk. The beach was an easy 15 min stroll. Secure parking was a bonus. It was very easy to explore the areas around Biarritz, including St. Jean de Luz.
