Mikel is a wonderful host! Communication was excellent - he was quick to respond to messages and provided lots of helpful information about the local area and getting to Donostia from the Bilbao airport. Mikel even met us at the bus station and walked us to the flat. The flat is perfectly situated in walking distance to the beach and the old town, and very close to shopping and restaurants. The flat was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen and a washing machine.
Mikel is a very thoughtful host. He provided personal recommendations on the best Pintxos in town (map included), as well as lots of recommendations for the surrounding area. Also, we were travelling with our two year old, and he had set up the travel cot with sheets, a high chair and left toys in the flat, including a bucket for the beach!
The building next door is undergoing construction with workers starting at 8am. There is also a discoteca next door, which was noisy on the weekend (especially in the second bedroom).
We really enjoyed our time at Mikel's flat and can't wait to return to Donostia one day!
