Virginia’s apartment is beautiful, and fantastically located in Hondarribia. The neighbourhood was lively yet calm and pleasant (even though there was a jazz festival going on outside the apartment during our 3-night stay). It’s an excellent base for exploring the area.
There are a few things that could be improved to make the apartment even better — first and foremost, it would help to have a House Guide in the apartment, to inform guests about light switches (there are many), kitchen appliances (there is an induction stove, so it’s best to use a pot for boiling water for tea!), etc. It would also help to provide a simple map showing the main parking areas (which are all outside the old city walls), and their location relative to the apartment.
We found the bed in the master bedroom a bit too soft for us. But overall, the apartment is very comfortable and spacious.
Virginia was very responsive to questions (although we did have some confusion from translation software!). And she kindly brought over a few additional provisions as soon as we informed her that they were needed.
One last note: when one uses the main shower, their silhouette is visible from the living room — exactly as shown in the photographs. This is an unusual ‘feature’… perhaps not to everyone’s taste… but it was fine for us!
