Jose Maria's apartment is beautiful and very private, both in the apartment and with the lovely sunken patio surrounding it. The apartment itself is beautifully styled, with very comfortable beds and couch, and great amenities. The location is fantastic. I walked to the beach to surf (several fantastic surf spots within walking distance), and there are restaurants and bars along the way. The rest of the area (euskal herria / basque country) is amazing and many stunning locations (Mundaka, Gaztelugatxe (castle island), Guernika, many more) are just a short drive away. Jose Maria was a very helpful, friendly, and warm host, and I highly recommend his apartment for your stay in this lovely area!
