We spent a very pleasureable four nights in Gene's charming apartment earlier this month. Gene was unable to meet us at the apartment, but her son interrupted his afternoon to bike down to guide us to the apartment and 'show us the ropes'. Gene very kindly left a lovely bottle of local wine for us and lots of information on places of interest to see. Gene also went to the trouble of listing some very good restaurants both local and further afield. St Jean de Luz is a very pretty seaside town and is quite popular with tourists and locals alike, so it is a good idea to park your car behind the railway station, near the school and then the apartment is only a short walk away. The location could not be better for nearness to boutiques, specialist food shops, bars and excellent restaurants, the local market and of course a lovely beach. We were very comfortable in Gene's apartment with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Thank you so much for your hospitality Gene. Bon Chance!
