Nerea and Karlos’ apartment is centrally located and very close to the old town, with easy access to many nice bars and restaurants, especially for pintxos, as well as a big supermarket just down the road. They even leave a BARIK card for guests to use on public transport (which includes the funicular) so well worth using if you are exploring around the city. If you also want to explore further afield (or are a fan of GoT) then a trip out to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is well worth the trip!
We are a couple and were met at the apartment by Estibaliz who let us keep our suitcases in the apartment before check-in and was very patient with us through the language barrier (we speak very basic Spanish but recommend you try and learn some because every little helps, and learn some basque as well. English isn’t spoken much and one shouldn’t expect it to be!) She showed us a map of the city and gave us tips and advice on where to go, which was very useful. Communication with Nerea was also easy over message and she responded very quickly to any questions I had.
The apartment is homely with lovely little touches, with a very comfortable sofa and bed. The kitchen is well equipped with a dish washer as well, and we were left milk, tea, sugar, coffee and breakfast, which was so lovely. The only strange thing was that there was no kettle, but not too much of an issue as it’s easy to boil water in a pan!
Overall a great apartment in a central location, and we really recommend it. Muchos gracias!
