Beautiful spot. Location location location. Terrace is everything. Fun people and surfer watching. Glorious 6 nights!!! Comfortable for four of us including two teenage boys. Who enjoyed the beach right in front across the street. First two weeks of July were already busy and we tended to go to the beach in the evenings as the crowds were thinning out and enjoy a light dinner in the terrace for sunset (9:30 pm!!!) . Old town a quick walk away. Enjoyed the aquarium which includes maritime history. Avoided the old town for meals but is good for drinks and pinxos. We ventured to nearby towns and to France for lunch a few days . Parked our car in nearby garage booking on line with easy in and out access. San Sebastián is expensive in general and there are a lot of great chefs and restaurant options including Michelin starred ones but there are also options of the menu di dia ( 13 euro) where mostly locals were eating good value and quality.
Miguel was a great host and even help me find a physio for my back which was much appreciated. We also enjoyed his restaurant recommendations. We loved the place. Will return…. Maybe in June when it’s less busy.
From the photos I expected the apartment to be a bit newer and modern but it was perfectly functional . Bathrooms great. Overall some wear and tear. We didn’t cook real meals but the induction elements worked well as did the nespresso and moka machines. Drawback was that there is no umbrella or canopy for shade on terrace due to some regulations. There were some paddle ball racquets and balls otherwise no beach equipment. It would have been really great to have a few of those low light beach chairs and an umbrella to take to the beach as we didn’t really want to buy them new ( exorbitant prices around the corner) or have space for them in our car for such a short time. Overall highly recommended. Thanks again!!!
