The apartment is beautifully decorated on a lovely street in the Old Town, across from City Hall. It was stocked very well with extra toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, plenty of towels, paper towel roll, napkins, cooking equipment, a bottle of cider and some candy. My family of 4 stayed (5 and 9 yr old daughters) stayed for 6 nights and just checked out today. The parking lot is only a few minutes away and easy to find parking. The kind owner met us there on arrival and brought our luggage in his car to the apartment door and helped us carry our very heavy luggage up to the second floor apartment.
The apartment has a long hallway that connects the living/dining room space to the kitchen. The entry, bathroom and 2 separate bedrooms are along the hallway with sliding doors to all, but the entry. There is a picturesque balcony in the front that overlooks the beautiful cobblestone street with views of the church in one direction and a view of the medieval walls in the other direction. The balcony in back has a partial view of France across the river and is where you hang laundry.
The bus stop and grocery store are only 5 minutes away, the ferry to France is about 10 minutes to the dock and about 10 minutes to the pedestrian street near the marina with delicious pintxos. Also plenty of great restaurant options on the same street as the apartment and a seafood shop across the street.
The only negative is that the roof was being replaced 4 of our 5 full days there, 8am-8pm, and it was very loud with sawing, hammering and a super loud crane one day….even with all of the doors and shutters closed. It probably wouldn’t inconvenience most that are only sleeping there and gone exploring all day. In our case, my husband works remotely on zoom with meetings and our youngest naps each afternoon. Also, you need to take quick showers because the hot water runs out pretty quickly.
I would highly recommend the apartment, just double check construction noise.
