Well, we arrived by train to Biarritz station. Catching a taxi requires a call as the stands were empty on an afternoon arrival. The cab ride was about 20mins to Xavier's place. La Casa Cosy. It was a beautiful old house typical of the city. Xavier kept in touch with us and was there take care of us on arrival. Since we were 3, he assigned us the basement flat with it's own entrance. The basement flat was clean and simple. It had sharp stairs leading to the main bedroom upstairs on the first floor with another bedroom on the lower floor. Everything we needed was there. 2 mins walk to Les Halles. 5 mins walk to biarritz beach. Very convenient! Every week, there was at least one night market or day market that made the neighborhood quite festive. We had a short blackout on the Internet for 2 days, Xavier kept us posted on the problem, which was the provider's fault in the end. All in all, we had a wonderful stay by the beach as a family!
