I can't say enough great things about the host. We did a last minute booking around 1830 on a Sunday evening and the host dropped what he was doing and met us at the apartment within 10 minutes to accommodate us.

The host gave us a crash course tour to the city via a personally detailed map of what cafes, restaurants, and attractions he likes. The apartment has free wireless, cable TV (very few English channels, but we spent our time in the city so not an issue). The storm blinds act as almost blackout blinds, which is great if you're trying to get through some jetlag or love sleeping in the dark. If you want some light, just don't close them all the way.

The apartment was great. Very clean and comfortable, it has everything you need to stay as long as you want. Full kitchen, complimentary coffee and tea. The host even went so far as to leave us a bottle of wine and a box of truffles on our first night.

The sunset view from the terrace is incredible. The pictures don't do it justice. Sitting out there watching the sunset over the ocean, enjoying the wine and truffles was something out of a movie.

The location is perfect. Everything is within walking distance. There's a supermarket a couple blocks away and countless restaurants and cafes in every direction as soon as you walk out of the building. Old town is a five minute walk away.

You might not think much that the host mentions 'parking' in the heading of the ad, but street parking in San Sebastian is insane. We drove around for probably 15 minutes just trying to find a place to stop for a few minutes and still never found a spot. So if you drive in to town, the parking spot the host has is in a private, secure garage in the basement of the building the unit is in. A couple flights of stairs and then it's an elevator to the floor the unit is on.

Overall, we had a great experience and we feel that is largely in part to the accommodations. Having what felt like a home to go back to at the end of a long day of walking (hiking if you make the trek up to the top of Monte Urgull; best view of the city).
