Mikel's apartment is in a very quiet location with the balcony and bedroom at the back of the building which provides a peaceful haven, but with easy access to all the sights and places to visit. Good bars and restaurants are plentiful and only a few minutes walk away (visit Bar Esnaola just a few doors down which is a local bar with very reasonable prices where you can practice your Basque). The old town and the beach are both about 10-15 minutes stroll. The apartment has everything you need for a most comfortable stay plus a really special bonus is the roomy balcony which is festooned with plants and has views over the rooftops to the mountains beyond. It is a welcome retreat after a day discovering San Sebastian and place to enjoy the sun too. We would highly recommend staying at Mikel's apartment. Mikel is an excellent host with very personable charm and great communication. We would certainly return.
