I wish there was an option to give 10 stars. Asier is an exceptional host and a real ambassador for Basque culture, tradition and food.
His place is an immaculate home just outside the city center in a peaceful neighborhood with lush garden guests can enjoy. After the crowds of downtown you'll be grateful for the peace and quiet at Asier's place. The city is a short, comfortable bus ride away.
When we arrived we received such a warm welcome and an almost dizzying amount of information and excellent advice about highlights and some of the best pinxtos in town. Which we again appreciated as the amount of choices is enormous. The pinxtos we tried were easily some of the best dishes I've ever had.
The home has great parking, breakfast, a hammock, super resources for reading about Basque cuisine and culture and a perfect terrace to enjoy some wine away from the bustling downtown.
There's so much more I could write but suffice it to stay Asier really made our short visit fantastic.
