Everything that was written on the site was in the garden (swimming pool, bar, fire place, dart board etc). More than enough working space in the kitchen. The cat wasn't showing up much so absolutely not a problem for people who do not like cats. No cat smell in the house! Nice cycle route to Bayonne on the borders of the Nive. Good location for visiting the beaches with enormous waves, the mountains or Spain. Friendly accessible landlord. Of note: There are musquitos, so use the netting in the windows ##### alexander R.
