Benedicte is a delightful hostess! She offers a wealth of information on activities and attractions for all interests from art to museums to hiking suggestions.
She has prepared a fantastic binder of information including maps of nearby towns.
Benedicte is extremely responsive and helpful yet she is not intrusive -you’d never know she’s just next door. If you are lucky enough to see her working in her garden she will happily chat with you. She enjoys getting to know her guests.
The apartment is in a lovely quiet residential neighbourhood, which is near the golf course and 15 minutes walk to Anglet and Biarritz beaches. 300 meters away you’ll find an excellent bakery and grocery store.
While parking was not always available right in front of the house, there was always parking 100 meters down the street near the driving range.
Inside the apartment is lovely—
It’s very spacious with just about everything you might need to prepare meals. Benedicte seems to have thought of everything including detergent for the dishwasher and washing machine— which also is a dryer.
We had a few days of very hot weather. Fortunately Benedicte provided us with two fans, which made sleeping a bit more comfortable, however, it was on these hot nights that we realized that there is actually only one window in the apartment - off of a hallway, and it just cracks open.
The patio is completely enclosed with sliding doors opening from the bedroom and kitchen. While lovely and bright in the day, to get fresh air at night you’d need to leave the sliding doors open, and as there are no screens you take a chance getting bitten by mosquitoes.
Needless to say, for hot nights we were grateful for the fans.
As soon as the temperatures dropped ( and they often do in the Pays Basque ) the apartment temperature wasn’t an issue.
We spent a great week here and happy recommend the accommodations.
