You can't get better than this location and Mikel is an excellent host. Highlights for us: ocean view, 1 block to the beach, parking spot, pet friendly, - little touches like a bottle of local wine given by Mikel, beach towels available for use, nice & comfy decor, a fantastic book collection if you need a beach read, and Mikel's tips for pintxos were all exceptional. Plus there are plenty of breakfast options/bakeries right across from the apartment -or a fully functional kitchen if that's your thing. My husband took surf lessons (Zurriola beach has excellent surf) and Old Town is truly a 5-10 min walk. Thanks Mikel! I hope we make it back!
