"We had such a great time in San Sebastián with this apartment as our base. The apartment itself is well represented in the listing. What you see if what you get. But there are many details you might not appreciate. The lighting options, the in house speakers, the well stocked and organized kitchen, etc. It just works. The place is not fancy or fussy. Everything is just as you need it for a multi day visit. Two things really stand out about this property. The first is the location. If you are new to San Sebastián, you may not realize that the old town, which is just a few blocks away, is a disruptive place to stay. It’s crowded, waking only, and loud at night as it has the highest concentration of bars. This area gives quick access to old town, but better access to shopping, the center of the beach, the train station, and many restaurants and taverns. But the most important distinction is the service from Joseba, the co-host for our stay. Despite the fact that Joseba was traveling, we were always in contact if needed. The response time and level of service was the best I have experienced. For example, we had a small issue with the wifi. It just wasn’t working well in the bedroom, but enough so that it would have been ok. Joseba wouldn’t let “ok” be enough. As soon as we mentioned it, they jumped into action and the same day a wifi repeater was quietly left at our door. Within a couple of hours we had blazing service. It’s a simple, but important distinction, to have a host who really cares. This isn’t a place you bring your friends who complain about everything and need a view or a fancy lobby. It’s where you stay to feel like a local. Start you day at the fruit market on one side of the entrance and end you day with pintxos and a beer on the other side. This is the magic of staying here. You can live like a happy resident."
