Like all the other reviews, I can only rave about Columba! She is just the most lovely host and so generous with her time. She even met us at the train station which was much appreciated. We were new to Spain and had a lot of questions and Columba sat down with us and went through the whole map of San Sebastián and how to order food and where to go and what buses to take. She even called the spa to check that they were open and booked us a taxi to the station at the end. When I needed medical supplies she straight away went to look in the cupboard to give me anything I needed. A hugely generous and warm spirit. Always ready to answer any questions.
The room worked well for us as it had two single beds and we are two friends travelling together. We had the bathroom to ourselves which was great - as the other room was free. The apartment is gorgeous - just like the photos. Excellent views. About a 30 min walk to the old town - which is very pleasant as you walk along the beach to get there. The apartment is up a bit of a steep incline - which was totally fine for us - but I thought it might be a bit harder for someone with any issues with walking uphill. Totally worth it though for the view.
The breakfasts, as previously stated, were excellent. Fresh fruit, lovely jam with toast, delicious coffee and fresh orange juice. Felt totally spoilt.
Even though we were in someone else's apartment, we felt welcome to spend time in the lounge room and on the balcony.
I can't recommend staying with Columba enough.
