The view! The pictures say it all, though they really do not capture the beauty of the view in person. The apartment is at the top of a hill overlooking one of the most gorgeous beaches you will ever see. The region is fantastic for outdoor activities (especially surfing, but also cycling, kayaking, SUP, hiking, etc.), and the beach is a short walk from the apartment. The best part was listening to the sounds of the ocean at night and waking up to see the view at sunrise.
What to know: The apartment does not have WiFi, TV, or a microwave, but there is a great washer, a Nespresso Machine, and a CD player with an eclectic selection of CDs to listen to. Henri was kind enough to provide Nespresso capsules and beach stuff, though we only had two towels.
The town of Lekeitio is a bit of a hike from the apartment--it's a small town with friendly people, surprisingly non-touristy, and there's plenty of cafes with affordable drinks and great views. We also spent a good amount of time at a cafe run by a hotel by the beach, so we could access wifi when needed. Overall a great experience and we hope to come again someday.
