Lourdes's place was amazing. This was our first Airbnb experience and it was grand. We stayed in Airbnb's for the remainder of the two-week european road trip and our stay at Lourdes's house was by far the best.
Her home and the master suite that we rented, specifically was spotless and spacious. The bathroom had everything we needed and was a good size, as was the bedroom. The house is well-located, near many restaurants and attractions. Lourdes was a great host, even though she wasn't home that evening! We actually never met, but she was communicating with me via Airbnb messaging, sharing places to go, things to do, weather predictions, etc. She was the sweetest! It is evident that she enjoys what she does! Her husband was home instead and checked us in. He greeted us very kindly and also gave us restaurant recommendations. When we realized we forgot our key inside the room upon returning from dinner, Lourdes's husband opened the door for us. Thank goodness it was before 10pm, but he was watching an important soccer finals game and I did feel horrible about bothering him. The next morning, he had a full spread set up for breakfast including coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. It was all delicious. He was also very interesting to converse with and was open to sharing a little about his culture and way of life in Spain. It was quite the experience we were hoping for out of Airbnb, where you get to meet locals rather than staying in a hotel and not talking to anyone. All in all, I highly recommend Lourdes's place and will definitely try to book it again upon my next and longer visit to San Sebastian.
