Wow, what a lovely apartment this was. First, the location on Calle Prim (or Prim Kallea in Basque) is spectacular – the architecture in this part of San Sebastián is stunning and it feels very much like Paris but on a smaller scale. It's right next to a great pedestrian zone with restaurants, bars, shops, etc. and a short walk to the Playa La Concha. The building itself is beautiful (both the façade and interior lobby) and the unit itself has a very elegant feel to it. The furniture pieces are really tasteful, and I especially loved the bedside lamps. Irene's mother (Petra, I believe her name was) met us at the unit and showed us everything, including where to dry clothes. She was so delightful and I'm glad we were able to chat with her.
During our stay we discovered an amazing little tavern-type restaurant a few blocks up the street called Bar Izarraitz. The food is absolutely delicious and both times we went all of the other diners were locals, so we would highly recommend that as an alternative to the touristy tapas bars in the Old Town.
