Absolutely amazing! The apartment is beautiful (completely renovated), the location is perfect, the wi-fi is fiber speed, and most of all Pat is the best host we have ever had with AirBnB or any other platform.
The Hosts:
From the moment we arrived, Pat and Alberto treated us like family. They made us feel super comfortable at the apartment and were always just a text message away if we ever needed anything. We were staying in San Sebastian when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Pat and Alberto went out of their way to make sure we were safe and helped us figure out what we needed to do to get home!
The Apartment:
The apartment is beautiful! Clean, renovated, airy, and bright. It is also quiet at night which is a huge bonus. If you are a surfer, Pat's apartment is awesome because it has a balcony, making it super easy to dry your wetsuit and store surfing equipment outside. The apartment has everything you need to cook and is very secure (5th floor).
The Wi-Fi:
For those of us that work remotely, or need the internet for more than just social media, the internet at Pat's apartment rocks! In fact, it was faster than the internet at my house in the USA. Fiber internet with a massive bandwidth. Fast enough for screenshare demos for work, uploading photos, etc....A+ internet.
The Surf:
If you are a surfer coming to San Sebastian for surf and culture, Pat's apartment is the dream location. 100 feet from the best part of Zurriola beach. When the surf is on at Zurriola the wave is a mix of Ocean Beach SF and Trestles. On low tide the outside peak turns into a true Trestles'esque a-frame that ropes across the bay (left is longer). As the tide fills in the north end of the beach turns into a super peaky tubing beachbreak zone. There's a user-friendly inside zone for beginner/intermediate surfers as well!
The Apartment Location:
Pat's apartment is located in the most ideal part of San Sebastian. Far enough away from the "Old Town" where you can get good deals and experience local culture, but close enough where you can be in the heart of the tourist quarter in 10-minutes or less walking. In the direct neighborhood of the apartment are some of the best pinxto bars in the city as well as a ton of grocery stores, bars and restaurants. (Pro tip: The pinxto bars near Pat's apartment are about half the price of the Old Town pinxto bars and have much higher quality pinxtos!).
