We stayed in this stunning apartment with our 2 young kids (aged 4 and 19 months) for 5 nights and absolutely loved it!!
Borja and Eva were fantastic hosts, very helpful and great communication. The process for check in was extremely well communicated with very clear and easy-to-follow instructions.
Location was PERFECT for families with young kids. Every review that talks about this is true. You walk out the front door and when you turn to your right, you are literally looking at a (really good) pintxo bar with outdoor seating that overlooks a cute playground. Grab a drink and a few pintxos served by the friendly bar staff and sit down for a relaxed lunch while your kids play! Also close to the beach which is best suited for young families. We walked to old town every day and had no issues with the 25/30min walk, it’s so stunning you don’t even notice how long it is.
The apartment itself is massive, with nice big bedrooms. The way they have set up the space is beautiful, with some lovely quirky/creative touches.
It seems to be a converted space (from what I can gather by looking at the decor, it’s the former office of an architecture firm?), which does mean it was probably not designed to be lived in permanently. A couple of things that might be worth noting: there is no proper oven (a small microwave oven provided in its place), and the bathroom is tiny. It’s extremely narrow, with the shower/bath quite awkward to access (esp when bathing young kids), it has no bench space and no decent ventilation, so even with the small windows open, everything tends to get damp after a shower! Also, at times (esp on weekends) it can get noisy on the street outside the bedroom windows later at night. Luckily our kids somehow slept through it all but for example it might not be ideal for a newborn who wakes at anything!
In saying all of that, we would absolutely stay there again, and happily recommend to others. Just important to be aware of these things before you get there.
Overall, we had the most fantastic stay in San Sebastián at this apartment, and are so grateful to Borja and Eva for hosting us!
