Great property!

We loved this apartment! It was a beautiful space in a wonderful central location. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby and yet very quiet when you are in the apartment. The host was very helpful and responsive to our questions about the area.

We enjoyed our time in San Sebastián and our stay in this apartment was a large part of making our stay comfortable. We traveled there with two young kids and they enjoyed the space and openness of the apartment. The location was perfect for our needs and was very convenient with a supermarket and restaurants very close by. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for a 6 night stay. Thank you to Mikel and his wife for making our stay very inviting.

The apartment was in a prime location with easy access to everywhere. It was very comfortable and clean and the host, Mikel, was kind, gracious and very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend this apartment and location.

The best apartment we’ve ever stayed in

Ideal base to explore San Sebastián. Within easy walk of La Concha beach and the old town but away from the hordes of tourists (yep just like us). The Amara neighbourhood was vibrant and lively, full of interesting shops and bars and cafes. We also crossed the river to Gros area for one of our host’s recommendations- we were not disappointed. But the star of it all was the apartment. Done to a superb standard the place was absolutely spotless. Air conditioned on our arrival so we immediately had respite from the hot afternoon. We were an amazed by how much space we had. Everything was top notch and it was a pleasure staying there.

We had an amazing stay at “The Whale” in San Sebastián! Excellent location-close to restaurants and coffee shops but also quiet for a good nights sleep. Thanks for the great stay at your apartment!
