Monse’s the Factory and Sweet Home Airbnb is a two-for-one deal with doppelgänger suites perfect for travel companions that love to spend the day together but need their own private space in the evenings. The decor is both stylish and comfortable. The location is in the heart of Old Town, but wasn’t obnoxiously loud for those who can’t make it much past midnight (OK, truth be told, much past 11:30). The balconies gave the place an old world feel — especially when the annual Basque 31 de agosto celebration is parading directly below — but the interior felt refreshingly modern and plenty spacious. All the amenities are there — Nescafé coffee pods, wine glasses and cork screws, beach towels and mats, umbrella, even microwaves and refrigerators in each suite as well as a full shared kitchen with washer and dryer. We Americans wish there were wash clothes in the baths, but we understand that’s not a common thing in Europe. That being said, the water pressure in the showers was fantastic and the mattresses were top-notch. Monse’s guidebook is well-developed and lists all the must-dos, including getting in line for the Bar Nestor tortilla (easy to monitor from the balconies, since the famous bar is right below) and making a rezzie at a Michelin star restaurant. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back again in the future.
