Sparsely furnished large 2 BR apartment on the 8th floor of a 9-story building, located some distance away from the places to visit, such as Old Town (30-40 mins walk).
-Lack of WiFi was very disappointing, cell phone signal was weak.
- Guests are NOT ALLOWED, even for a brief visit (new local rules, apparently, though our kids staying in-town had no such restrictions).
-Hosts appear friendly at first, in reality they're very suspicious and nervous about everything ("Did you have visitors? Did someone take a shower in our bath?")
-The TV was the size of the postage stamp, with only local channels.
-Washer didn't work, no clothes dryer on premises (used outside ropes to dry our stuff).
-Interactions w/hosts was complicated since they din't provide phone number, could only communicate by e-mails via airbnb, often unreliable. However, English was no problem, which is rare in Basque country and was really nice.
-No parking for guests nearby (for locals only, always full); expensive underground parking is available 5-10 mins away; free parking can be found rather far away ($2/pp ride on bus) .
-The hosts are hyperactive, cheerful, but very sensitive about the aging and occasionally malfunctioning appliances.
-Coffee and condiments were available, but not plentiful.
