Fabulous apartment in a great location
We stayed in this apartment St-Jean-de-Luz for 12 weeks! As part of a
6-month sabbatical, we decided to base ourselves somewhere in the
south of France for a few months so we could experience life in a
European town, rather than the inside of numerous hotel rooms. We also
wanted to be within striking distance of surf beaches (we have 2
surfers in the family!) and Northern Spain - San Sebastian is only 30
mins away. We did our homework well in choosing this apartment - we
even contacted, via the owner, previous holiday makers who had stayed
there for their opinion. We expected the apartment to be nice and to
be well located but it was, in fact, even nicer in real life than we
expected and the location was also even better than expected. The
apartment is spacious, particularly for this part of the world, and
has a really nice feel to it. It has floor to ceiling glass doors in
every room and, being a corner building, it has a great aspect that
attracts wonderful light even in the Autumn / Winter months. The
location couldn't be better - you are right in the middle of the
village yet only 100m from the beach. Once you walk out the front
door, you immediately step into the vibe and atmosphere of the old
part of the town, with mostly pedestrianised streets, it is really
safe and enjoyable for all ages (we have 2 young children so this was
important). You can take your pick of fabulous cafes or restaurants
all within 100 metres of the flat. The owner, Bertrand was extremely
helpful in his advice about the surrounding area - he even helped my
husband and son get tickets to a FC Barcelona game in San Sebastian
during our stay. We recommend this flat highly and we are even happy
for you to contact us via Bertrand to answer any questions you have of
the flat or the town.
