Everything about this place is perfect. I had been traveling the Basque Country for four weeks before landing here at Irune's lovely "cave." It is by far my favorite residence of the nearly 30 different places I stayed during my Basque tour.
Irune is wonderful. Very professional and diligent and extremely thoughtful. From prior to check in to after check our, her communication was responsive and helpful. She is a kind and considerate person. Very refreshing.
The place itself is even lovelier than the photos suggest. It's calm and interesting and very thoughtfully appointed with just the right furnishings, appliances, linens, etc. Even the carefully curated reading material reflects the host's concern for the wellbeing of her guests.
The location couldn't be better. It's at the top of the Main Street in old town -- in the middle of the action but also extremely quiet. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio, and later in the day it was the perfect location for local wine and cheese.
The restaurants and bars and markets are all within easy walking distance, as is the beach. This entire stretch of Biscay coast is fabulous.
I look forward to returning to this property for another vacation next year.
