Ibana’s hospitality surpassed our expectations. We loved our time walking on the beach - just a few minutes from the door - and the house was perfect for our family of 5. Not only was there a well equipped kitchen with everything we could need, she had bought us groceries, eggs, wine, bread!!!and… greeted us with a most delicious Spanish tortilla de papa. Which our kids loved and was a perfect way to start.
From Ibana’s gracious reception of us when we arrived, to her showing us around, I felt like we were getting reacquainted with a friend from long ago. Her warmth and her responsiveness throughout our weeklong stay was a true gift and helped us appreciate Basque Country and hospitality. We loved cooking in the kitchen. We had thought we might stay in Bilbao but with a rental car and the beach being so close… we loved Sopelmar and would return again. Of the dozen Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in, this was my favorite.
