From the moment that we set foot in Emi's home she went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We stayed with her during San Sebastián's "Semana Grande" festival (incl. professional fireworks competitions) so the city was filled with people. On our first night, Emi asked if we would like her to accompany us to watch the fireworks competition from the perfect spot, and then we had a glass of wine and pintxo together! This was by far the best Airbnb experience we've had thus far -- we truly felt welcome in her beautiful apartment, and enjoyed the cultural sharing and exchange. Emi was incredibly helpful (without being overbearing). She recommended a place to park in the outskirts of the city for free, printed out festival programming, and provided us with a list of her favorite pintxos bars (equal to if not better than any Lonely Planet, Michelin or TripAdvisor guide!). She was also incredibly generous -- offering access to her fresh fruit and cereal for breakfast, and asking if we wanted to try her delicious "crema de calabacín" soup. The apartment was immaculate, shower very good, and beds comfortable. The living room and balconies overlook one of San Sebastian's boulevards. Guests also have access to the kitchen. Emi is a great hostess and we had a wonderful stay. Hope to be back in the future!
