Facility:
One of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed at. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living quarters and a kitchen. Also includes a separate entryway. Lots of space and heaters to keep you warm. Tons of ventilation for the summer and fans when it gets hot.
Major wins: washer and separate dryer - super rare! Plus all the normal stuff. Tons of extra towels / again, super rare.
Location:
In the safe and tendy/locals vibe Gros. A short walk to the old city. Has amazing restaurant and bars that not only rival the old city but lead the pack as well. Building is new, secure and modern. 10 min walk into the old city and 2 min walk to the beach. Easy access to highways that take you to Bilbao, Rioja, or Hondarribia. Gros in itself is a destination so enjoy the location.
Host:
Eva is super thorough. If this is your first Airbnb or you’re unfamiliar with the city/country, Eva is your host. If you’re an expert and want a smooth check-in, Eva is your host. She’s available at a moment’s notice via the app and gives great recommendations and answers any of your questions. In fact, all of her recommendations were in line with our pre-trip research and top notch. She also gives a nice personal touch in her accommodations like a welcome note, guest log book, small typical breakfast and toiletries.
Since there are no Ubers in the city, Eva arranged a 7AM taxi for us to get to the airport.
During our trip, the umbrellas we borrowed from the room were stolen at a restaurant. This was completely our fault and we offered to pay or replace them but she refused. This was an extreme gesture of hospitality that shows just how committed Eva is as a host. Thanks again Eva.
Eva is also super kind and mindful.
