The apartment is one of two on the lower floors of Joseba’s classical villa-style home, one of a number of such houses in a quiet oasis on the hill above the old town. There is a modest sized room with double bed, sofa, table & chairs. The kitchenette comprises 2 hobs, microwave, toaster (no kettle), hob coffee percolator and fridge freezer. There are basic utensils, a small supply of staples and cleaning equipment. A corridor with hanging space leads into a generous sized bathroom with shower and washing machine. Towels and sheets are provided. The apartment is accessed up about 7 steps from a pleasant outdoor enclosed sitting area (shared with the other apartment). There is free parking in the private street adjacent to the apartment (protected by barrier access). A well-stocked supermarket is within 5 minutes’ walk. Although near the old town and riverside walks, there is a steep hill to be climbed back up to the apartment, unless you can find one of the many escalators. So it might not be suitable for those with mobility problems.
Joseba is a great host, very helpful and reliable. He has a lot of local knowledge, and provided us with home-grown tomatoes and lemons. We stayed for 11 days in this interesting city and beautiful area. There are lush hills and wonderful beaches nearby.
