Pedro was great as a host! Very punctual and informative abut everything.
The apartment was clean, spacious with a large terrace and all the basic amenities, wonderful for families or couples. Located in the Barrio Antiguo, not the old town, it is a nice, residential neoighborhood a few blocks from the Ondarreta Playa, that really let us get a feel for spanish daily life.

Downstairs on 1st floor are fish market, cafes, etc then a great little plaza with play structures, a basque handball court used by all for various sports, and a bar-restaurant-cafe with tables outside under a canopy of shady trees. It was great! The kids played while we had coffee, drinks till late with all the neighborhood kids. We got to see some real basque handball matches by the neighborhood clubs, which was really neat and got interviewed by the local handball magazine as foreigners watching this sport for the first time. There was always something going on there, the heart of the neighborhood. A block away is the Matias St. filled with shops, bakeries, cafes, etc-superconvenient!

You can jog along the beach all the way around for about 3 miles, lots of active people about at all hours, or walk to downtown or to the old town along the beach walkway. It felt very safe and so beautiful. This apartment's location is awesome! Its a nice balance of local and tourist sites. Buses are easy to catch on the main street nearby. The beach was family-friendly with platforms with waterside/diving board into the ocean- very cool! The waves were not so big and we could swim out a ways in the warmish ocean.

The apartment itself is adequate and nicely remodeled kitchen and baths. It had all the basic needs. It was nice that each bedroom had a desk for the kids to write in their journals and my husband to work remotely. Pedro was amenable in putting temporary wifi in for us. Neighbors were friendly. We felt very at home.....After a month in Spain, San Sebastian was definately the highlight of our trip and everyone's favorite place. We highly recommend this apartment. Thank you for everything Pedro!
