First of all, Zumaia is an absolutely beautiful town and worth a visit (if you love hiking, this is definitely the town for you). I felt very lucky to have picked this place to stay on my trip to the Basque Country and would definitely come back for a longer stay in the future. Juan Luis's place is right in the centre of town and an easy walk to the train/bus stations (easy commute to San Sebastian, Bilbao and other towns along the coast) as well as the beaches (and you are close to all the bars/restaurants and stores in town). The flat is spacious, tidy and very clean. Both the kitchen and the bathroom are well equiped with all the necessities. The room itself is quite large, has plenty of storage space, comfortable and of course the view of the habour is stunning.

The best part of my stay in Zumaia was definitely the warm and genuine hospitality extended to me by both Juan Luis and his flatmate. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel at home and this feeling stayed for the entire trip. I was lucky enough to be in Zumaia during the annual town festival/party. JL and his friends were nice enough to let me hang out with them that night so I got the chance to see how the locals party and it was such a fun night that I will never forget. Overall, I cannot say enough about how nice Juan Luis is as a host. If you are visiting the Basque country, I would highly recommend a visit to Zumaia and a stay at Juan Luis's place.
