Owner Location Comment
"St Jean de Luz sits on a stunning bay on the Basque coast, near the Spanish border, and is famed for its play of ligh on the golden sand and whitewashed buildings, with the Pyrenees gleaming in the background. Popular with Basque families, it's also a working fishing port...hence the slew of excellent restaurants." Sunday Times 24.04.10

"For those who do not naturally gravitate towards the sun and fun of the beach, a seaside resort needs a special, intangible quality. Like the theatre, a good resort must be able to make one suspend one's disbelief. In all of southern France, there are very few places that can do this: one is Collioure on the Mediterranean, another St Jean de Luz." "Bilbao & The Basque Lands" by Cadogan Guides

Review Submitted: 11/15/2010

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed living at Iduski Mendi. The apartment was imbued with Basque/Aquitaine charm and we felt very fortunate to have located such a property for our stay in Saint Jean de Luz. The well-equipped kitchen and the spacious modern shower room etc were a delight. The building was quiet and peaceful, and such neighbours as we met appeared very helpful. The location was ideal for our purposes, with easy access to a great range of shops, and we had the sense that we were living as locals; we did not feel as mere tourists on holiday. We settled in to the area very quickly and the apartment became like a real home from home. Any difficulties arising during our stay were dealt with satisfactorily

The apartment worked absolutely wonderfully for us. The location was perfect, close walking distance to everything. San Jean de Luz is a great pedestrian town. I was worried about the proximity to the train station and if noise would be a problem. It was not a problem at all. The windows seemed to do a great job blocking out the noise, and it was never so hot that we had to have them open at night. The kitchen was great, perfect for having a family. I loved being that closed to the market hall. The apartment is also very close to the tourist office, and the busses to explore the entire Cote Basque are right across the street. We went to Biarritz for a day and to Bilbao as well. It is a good size apartment, plenty of room for a family. It was a great experience for us. For future reference, for people who have children who speak French or are learning. There are a number of kid’s beach clubs. My kids went every morning while we were there. It was very reasonably priced and everyone’s French greatly improved. We had trouble with wifi (for the computer) everywhere in France. No problems in 2008 lots of problems in 2010. So I think that that must have something to do with standard security on American computers. Some American channels on the TV would have been nice, and fixing the DVD player as well. A blender in the kitchen would also be a good addition. Again we had a great time and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Although the location (off a busy street and overlooking the railway station) initially seemed inauspicious, in fact the flat was lovely. It was very spacious for the two of us, very cheerfully decorated, and the was possibly better appointed than our own! We soon adjusted to the traffic noise as it was part and parcel of being in a town, so close to everything you could wish for. To have access to the internet was a real bonus. We hadn't expected Sky TV or the facility for atching DVD's, both of which would be welcome in bad weather. The experience as a whole was very pleasant indeed. The fact that the DVD player didn't work wasn't a problem as we had good weather. The kitchen was so well appointed that it seems churlish to have wished for a cafetiere instead of the electric coffee machine! I'd recommend this establishment highly.

Our recent stay in your apartment in Saint-Jean-de-Luz was wonderful. It was very comfortable, quiet, and ideally located. It was just like staying at a friend's home rather than a rental, which can be quite sparse when it comes to things in the kitchen, towels, bedding, etc. We would happily stay there another time. The only comment I would have is that 2 sets of keys should be provided rather than the one. Thank you again for your attention to the internet and getting it working for us.
