The apartment is wonderfully located just a couple of minutes from the Buen Pastor cathedral, five minutes from the beautiful La Concha beach, and a few minutes further on to the old town where many of the pinxtos bars are located. The apartment is on the 7th floor but with a lift to the 6th floor and had a good size terrace which faces south so gets the sun all day (we luckily had a sunny week in mid April so made full use of the terrace for al-fresco breakfasts and lunches). The kitchen is well equipped and looks out onto the cathedral spire. Many of the streets in the neighborhood are pedestrianised and flanked with beautiful buildings which, at ground-floor level, have loads of shops, mainly offering women's fashions and shoe shops, but there is a great market and supermarket just two minutes away. Maria-Carmen was a wonderful host offering tips to get the most out of our trip to the beautiful city of San Sebastian.
