Gene was a wonderful host. She gave us suggestions of places to eat and to visit, and was available next door for anything we needed. We met her by chance several times in the street and she was happy to stop and have a chat. Her apartment is tastefully decorated and well appointed, and has windows that open into a quiet street, providing fresh air and light into the apartment. It is located only 5 minutes from the train station, 5 minutes to the beach and right in the heart of the main pedestrian street, but is quiet and private. Gene and her very comfortable apartment helped make our stay in SAI t Jean de Luz very memorable - one of our favourites in France so far.
