This single room is in a beautiful and huge 85 year old family house in a residential area only 50 meters from the Ondarreta Beach.
The house has 5 bathrooms so you will always have a private bathroom. Mine was not ensuite but only 5 meters and half a floor away and had a great shower. The room is nice with plenty of closet space. The bed was only 180 cm which is a bit short for me. The wifi signal was weak, but I could use the office where the router was placed to go online. I could also use the big kitchen on the lower ground floor and the dining room on the ground floor.
A supermarket and all kinds of other shops are located in Matia kalea which is only 5 minutes walking.
Jorge is a very nice guy and he was very hospitable: he gave me a bike to use which was perfect to get around. It's a very nice ride of 10 minutes along the boulevard to the center where all the tapas bars are. I'm from Amsterdam but biking in San Sebastian turned out to be a bit of a challenge as well: there are special bike lanes, part of them on the sidewalks, but they tend to end all of a sudden...and then what? It's not always clear where you can bike and where not.
Parking in de street is paid (approx. €1 per hour with a maximum of 4 hours) and difficult if not impossible during peak hours. However, you can park for free on the Plaza de Funicular, only 5 minutes walking from the house. There are not many places there so you will only find one late in the evening.
It was my first visit to San Sebastian and it was a very pleasant surprise. I liked it a lot. Thank you Jorge, I hope to stay with you again one day.
