Great location, nice apartment
This apartment is in a really nice, convenient location for 2 of San Sebastián’s beaches. Less than ten minutes walk to the central beach (nice for a morning swim) and about 15/20 mins to the quieter, wilder surf beach, Zurriola. Good cafes, restaurants and bars, below (Could be a bit noisy but this was expected and not too disturbing as you are 5 floors up). They felt less touristy than in the old town (although it was nice to dip into that scene too and again was less than ten minutes easy walk).
The location is also close to shopping of all kinds. Modern food market and underground super market, convenience stores and bakeries are very nearby plus the main shopping streets located between the cathedral and the old town.
Bus and rail station are very close, just over river. (We travelled without a car no problem … just walked from the station to the apartment).
Apartment is small but perfectly set up with very good use of space and each of the 3 double rooms is simple but stylish. We were comfortable with 2 adults and 3 older teenagers and settled in very quickly.
There’s no air conditioning and we had 40 degree heat. It was hot but the bedroom fans helped and being high up and on the corner of the block the apartment catches the breeze.
Great view of the cathedral, obviously, so nice to sit out with coffee or wine and wish that you lived in San Sebastián!
