We had an amazing time in San Sebastián and it was in part because of this apartment. It really was close to everything - so we were able to walk everywhere and drop by home if we needed to freshen up or drop off anything (we may have had a siesta or two).
Location:
The location can't be beat and is equal walking distance to the beaches, old town and the shops. We arrived by bus from Bilbao airport and the apartment was less than 10mins walk away. We also left via San Sebastián airport which was also an easy walk 5min walk away from the apartment in Gipuzkoa plaza.
Apartment:
The apartment itself as exactly as in the listing and was bright and airy and best of all - quiet. As the apartment is next to an elevator we did occasionally hear the whirling of it going up and down via the bathroom but it wasn't distracting and couldn't be heard if you kept the bathroom door closed. The water pressure in the shower wasn't great but to be expected in most apartments in Europe. The washing machine came in handy as well - we felt like a local hanging our washing out on the lines outside the windows!
Host:
Nora was a great host. We were able to arrange a time to meet a few days before check in and she was prompt and punctual. She not only left us armed with maps, directions to the nearest supermercado and food recommendations but also with with a bottle of wine, a bottle of water and some charcuterie. We never got around to opening the wine as we had our fill of wine with our pintxos but the gesture was sweet! Nora also kept in touch throughout our stay which was appreciated.
All in all, we had a great stay and can't wait to get back to San Sebastián! Thank you Nora!
