I spent 6 days staying at Columba’s lovely apartment, while my daughter stayed with a penpal in Pamplona. I had a wonderful time. The apartment itself is ideally situated in the middle of San Sebastian-Donostia, a few minutes away from the beach and the bustle of the Antiguo section of the city, yet it is very quiet and peaceful; and the apartment is very comfortable and attractive. Columba provides a delicious breakfast each morning, which you can eat on her balcony, which has a spectacular view out over San Sebastian: the breakfasts served me for food until the evening, generally with four of five hours of pretty tough cycling during the day. And Columba herself is the perfect host and a lovely person, as so many others have said: she is welcoming, warm, friendly, and unfailingly helpful; and I greatly enjoyed chatting to her at more leisure at breakfast on my final morning, with no bike ride looming. A superhost indeed: if I ever revisit San Sebastian again, the ideal choice of where to stay would be obvious.
