Columba made us feel so welcome in her beautiful and homey apartment with a view of the San Sebastián beach. Arrival and departure plans went off just as planned, she provided us with very helpful advice upon arrival, and breakfast on her patio was an added and lovely bonus. You can walk everywhere you are likely to want to go from the apartment (and San Sebastián has a great bus system and there are tons of buses that stop within a few blocks of the apartment, too, if you can't or don't wish to walk much). We liked the neighborhood very much -- so close to the beach and everything, but not the part of town geared to tourists-definitely a neighborhood feel. We felt we got the best of all worlds. The apartment really does look like the photos, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Perhaps next time.
