In every respect - communication about the space before we booked, supporting our arrival, answering questions, communicating expectations, and streamlining our exit - Masa and her partner were fantastic hosts. The space was well-appointed, quiet, and the layout was perfect for two families with one young one each). Bedrooms were attached to large common spaces, and each side had its own bathroom. After checking us in and confirming the ages of the kids, she brought a second crib to the apartment on her own initiative.

The location of the place could not have been better, in my opinion. Zurriola is a two minute walk, the commercial center and old town are a 10 minute scenic walk, and Gros itself is picturesque, low-key, and local-oriented. By the end of the week we had our own barista, barman, and baker and were locked into a relaxing routine - surfing, museums, coastline hikes, and a slow crawl of pintxo bars.

Everything you need to enjoy siesta and a long lunch at home is in the apartment - a full set of cooking equipment, coffee maker, pots, pans and the like. With two tiny kids the washer/dryer was a lifesaver.

Can't say enough nice things about our hosts and the space itself, and the way both contributed to making our trip filled with great memories. We are already planning our return trip. Thanks, Masa!
