This is a fine apartment with a lot of nice amenities. Lots of space, and storage, very good furniture, your own garage, balcony, etc. One drawback is that the street in front of it is quite loud, it would otherwise make the balcony much more enjoyable.

Our host Anaitz was lovely and very helpful with all queries and recommendations on what to do in Hondaribbia and surrounding.

Hondaribbia itself is a wonderful little Basque town, with its amazing pintxos bars and a very relaxed atmosphere. The beach itself was not as nice as I thought, and absolutely packed with people (it was August and it's not big enough for all the tourists that are about at that time). The beach in Hendaye is bigger, but I did lot like the beach front there.

Instead we went a lot to Biarritz or to San Sebastian, which obviously involved a lot of travel time, but was worth the hazzle.

Overall, we liked it a lot, but would prefer to come at a different time (to avail of a much more favourable rent and a less packed beach). It's also probably better suited to families without or with older kids (ours are 7 and 10), as they may be more flexible about travels in the wonderful vicinity of the Basque country, both in France and in Spain.
