Tanya was a good host and we kept in close contact as we had problems arriving and turned up a day late. We also left an important item in the taxi (from the train station to the apartment) and she made some phone calls trying to help us. In the end the taxi driver brought our bag to us. What a wonderful honest driver, my husband gave him 10 euro for his trouble that he did not want to take, but eventually did. Ok back to the apartment. The apartment was in the best position ever, straight across the road from the beach. It seems that a lot more Spainish holiday at this beach and a lot of the bars the locals visit, unlike La Concha which seems a lot more touristy. I am so glad we stayed at Zurriola., the sand is wider at the beach and there are less people on Zurriola than La Concha. The apartment is close to everything inclusding supermarket, bars and restaurants. It is a short walk over the bridge to the narrow streets of Pintxos bars and don't forget to take the funicular to the top of the hill to see San Sebastien at her best. If you like being around locals and only hearing the Spanish language stay at Zurriola, we loved it. Jon's apartment was big enough for two people and you had everything you needed for a holiday including a washing machine. We did meet Jon, he was very friendly and brought me two wine glasses when I asked. If you love the beach and want the perfect view, this is the place.
ps. the bed was comfy.
