We spent 11 days in San Sebastián / Donostia, using this apartment as our home base to explore the Basque region. What a perfect spot. Easy to access and supremely comfortable, we instantly felt at home. The unit is well appointed and easy to use, with single floor access to cafes and restaurants at the doorstep. But what really made this special was that we were just outside the Old Town and beyond the typical reach of the tourist crowds. In this part of the city, you are among the locals and get to enjoy the full spectrum of Spanish family life. There is vibrant activity all around and a lively, happy bustle. If you are a light sleeper (or prefer to go to bed early, just when the traditional Spanish evening begins), just bring some ear plugs. Or, better yet, let yourself enjoy the wonderful cafe, bar, and dining traditions.
