We did not fully enjoy our time at Borja’s place. It was not clear where to park. His listing said there was free parking on the premises, which was street parking, if you can get it, and not any spaces available. He sent a link to a parking lot but the link led us to an unnamed street that we could not find. We parked in the local lot for 16 Euros per day.
Borja was not available to meet us, so someone met us there to welcome us, and we had difficulty understanding one another, as we did not speak each other’s language. We did not get fruit like others reported, but the coffee pods and the cerveza were nice to see.
The apartment was not cleaned properly. The unit was not vacuumed or dusted, there was olive oil dripped into the silverware tray so each piece needed to be cleaned, the sponge smelled moldy and was dirty (we purchased a new sponge to use), and there was toothpaste residue on the bathroom sink. The kitchen smells of mold due to water leak at kitchen faucet. We contacted Borja and he apologized and said he would talk to the cleaning people.
Borja provided extra towels and a bath mat when we contacted him, thank you.
The apartment is in need of an upgrade, the shower leaked a bit onto the floor, the kitchen shelves are chipped and broken.
The laptop friendly workspace doubles as the kitchen table, and the leg of the table is broken. Be careful if you try to move it! The chair is inexpensive plastic folding type.
The apartment is near the beach, but not waterfront, as it reads in the amenities section. It is located about 6-7 blocks away from the beach.
We enjoyed San Sebastian but would not recommend this apartment.
