This place was in a perfect position in the heart of the San Sebastian old town. We enjoyed being able to walk out and grab food, drink or part of the action so closeby.
The apartment was large, and it was good to have a couple of rooms away from the street to avoid the noise and get some sleep.
The main downsides of the apartment was that it was stuffy, smelly, grimy and dirty. The host explained that the smell was due to the pipes in the city, and the smell comes up through the water pipes. They were very quick to buy some air freshener to get rid of the smell. It's hard in the old apartments like that to get ventilation, and as there wasn't much light either it must be hard to air it out. The walls in particular were dirty and needed a good paint. The shower screen kept falling out of its socket while we were there, which wasn't the safest as we had small children. The beds were small, cheap and the sheets felt like they had barely been washed.
The hosts provided everything they were required to, but nothing more (eg we received the exact number of towels, small ones at that. No face cloths, only 2 beach towels when there were five of us), but it very much felt like a well used, production line type of apartment, which is probably due to the fact that San Sebastian is a popular location so it's very busy.
Prior to arrival it was harder to reach the hosts (managers appointed by the owner) and we weren't informed about the parking difficulties in San Sebastian. However once we were about to arrive, they were very helpful and responsive. There were a couple of issues and they replied straight away and were very friendly.
Overall the house was adequate, but not worth the money we paid if comparing with the 100s of other Airbnb's we have stayed in, across Europe and other countries.
