I have a curious story about my stay, but all things were very good!
Columba was great in that she picked me up from the bus station and we took a local bus back to the apartment. She graciously explained various neighborhoods of San Sebastion to me and gave me a background on everything. Considering my spanish is worthless, it was very nice to be understood and get some information. Columba is awash in good feelings and smiles, she couldn't be a better host.
However my story takes a twist - in that my fellow travlers who got a different hotel found out that they couldn't stay there as it was a single bedroom and not for two (they are a couple) - And my friend asked if I or Columba knew of other places to stay. Columba helped out and called her friends to see if my two friends could stay at their places. It was a very kind gesture!. But in the end Columba allowed me to swap with my two friends - so that they stayed with her and I took the hotel room my friends had reserved. She was super easy going about it and I actually regret the swap! The hotel was stingy and rude where as Columba was gracious and heartwarming. Her apartment has a great view, she tells you everything you want to know about San Sebastian and she has a very pretty cat and nice roommate. I wish I had stayed there. My friends reported back to me that everything was great and I don't doubt them.
