Plainly put: this is a stunning apartment in a great, quaint town in Biscay. The apartment has everything you'll need, and the views out the massive windows are stunning to experience every single day. We experienced more rain than sunshine during our trip and did have a couple nights where we decided to stay in. Despite the weather, the apartment is lovely and felt like our own second home.
However, what makes this an amazing place is indeed Alice and Igor (the hosts). We recently stayed in the apartment for a week and can't much put into words how genuine and forthcoming their hospitality was. They understood what kind of trip we were looking for and they assisted us with their expertise in every way they could; from organized literature for the region, city, restaurant, experience we were curious about to local establishments and activities they knew we'd love from listening to our interests. (For example, we caught a local festival in the next town over--which became one of the highlights of our trip--and would not have known anything of it had it not been for the hosts.)
We feel sad for leaving so soon, but we can't wait to visit again. This trip, with the apartment and its hosts, was the best introduction to the Basque Country we could've hoped for. Thanks!
