Our stay at this place in San Sebastian was pretty good but not quite what we had hoped for.
Pros:
- Alexandra was very quick in communication. Checking in was very straightforward.
- Daily apartment cleaning (of shared spaces). For a four-bedroom, this place was always very clean.
- Stylish, comfortable room with peaceful terrace and good closet space.
Cons:
- Location was further from the city center than we expected: it was a 10 minute walk to the river and a 15-20 minute walk to the Old Town area. I would only recommend this location if your main interest is Zurriola Beach (5 minute walk).
- Washer: the listing was unclear on this. One place on the description said the apartment had a washer, but the washer isn’t available to guests anymore. Or at least we were not allowed to use it.
- Pillows: our room had very specific pillows - one body pillow and two firm memory foam pillows. This did not work for us, but we were told it was not possible to change pillows or get extras. (Maybe you could ask ahead of time if this wouldn’t work for you either.)
*Wet bathroom: this wasn’t a pro or con but something that was mentioned in previous reviews. It doesn’t have a wet/dry division, so the whole bathroom floor gets wet when someone showers. I’ve had this style bathroom before and didn’t mind, but I would suggest a more effective squeegee if guests are expected to dry the floor.
