Quite simply, Maria is the perfect host. Communication was excellent throughout our stay. Upon our arrival, Maria greeted us with pintxos and a glass of wine. Although we have visited San Sebastian before, Maria gave us some helpful advice and has fantastic local knowledge. Maria also provides a light breakfast each morning that sets you up for the day.
The place is spotlessly clean, the room is modern and the private bathroom has an excellent shower. Maria's place is in the Gros region of the city. It is less than 5 minutes walk to the excellent Zurriola beach and a ten minute walk to the Old Town. Gros also has some excellent places to eat and drink, Bar Bergara has just been recognised as the best pintos bar in San Sebastian and it is literally 2 minutes around the corner from Maria's. What we also liked about the location of Maria's place is it is very quiet, the room has no road noise at all. It benefits from being far enough away from the busy (and noisy) central areas, but close enough for a leisurely stroll into and out of them.
The best compliment I can pay to our stay with Maria is we will be visiting San Sebastian again in the future and we will be staying at Maria's place again!
