Our stay at Jon & Manex’s apartment couldn’t have been more perfect. The location is as good as you can possibly hope for, situated on the edge of the old town for the shortest of strolls before you reach the restaurants & pintxos bars. It is also a few mins from the sea & was only a 10-15min stroll from the bus station so you can find your feet easily when you arrive.
The apartment itself is fantastically decorated, all of the amenities are high end, the bathroom is stunning, the bed excellent. Added to the rest of the apartment, it was a pleasure to enjoy time there after a long days eating & drinking our way around the area! Beyond the great layout with all the privacy one could want (ensuite full bathroom, private balcony, locking bedroom door) and beautifully decorated common spaces, there were so many little touches that put the experience above all others - fresh flowers, bottled water, and local wine with glasses and opener left in the room. Oranges and a state of the art juicer provided for fresh juice in the morning along with all sorts of food and drink choices stocked up for the guests...
As a frequent guests and sometimes host on AirBnB, this is by far the best most considerate attention to detail and hospitality we have experienced.
Above & beyond the lovely apartment was the pleasure of meeting Jon (& his sister!) as well as the communication from both Manex & Jon ahead of time. The hosts really go the extra mile to help with local information, managing any requests to check in early or leave late. It makes an enormous difference to have such flexibility when using AirBnB & we both appreciated their friendly, diligent approach to hosting us.
Donostia is a wonderful place to visit, staying with these hosts helps compliment the memories we made. We can’t recommend it highly enough.
