Just wanted to start off by saying that this was one of the best holidays we've ever had, particularly since we brought our little one (8 months old) and couldn't ask for anything more. The location, beaches, sunshine, and food (with the help of Maria's excellent foodie suggestions) made it perfect. What more, the apartment itself has a view and is furnished to a standard that is well above any five star hotel. Having stayed at nearly all the highest end hotels in financial centres around the world (Four Seasons, Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental), the finish and attention to detail in Maria's apartment well exceed any hotel stay. Even the kitchen tools are from Zwilling and B&O speakers can be connected to in the main living areas. What makes it a truly unique home is the amazing art, nearly 30 pieces of visual art that you can peruse, almost like having a personal gallery. Maria has great local advice, there is a supermarket for basic necessities 2 minutes away, and you can be at La Concha beach in 5 minutes using the private elevator the building has. We met a few of the neighbors as well which were super nice, and during our stay we had two special meals at Arzak and Mugaritz, both less than 15 min away by car. The private underground garage that Maria can provide is linked to the apartment directly by elevator, also very convenient and super secure if you bring a cherished car. All in all, out of all my travels over the years, this has to be one of the top 3 experiences. We hope to come back again, if not sold out next year!
