Smokin, literally !
Ok, so this place is very nice, very clean. The double bed was pretty comfortable, and it was nice for just the 2 of us to have the xtra bedroom to lay out our luggage. There was plenty of room. It's very close to the ocean which was great since we are runners and had a couple of great runs from the place. What it lacked was things to cook with like oils and spices and the little things that make a meal taste better. We didn't mind buying a few of these items to leave behind but since there weren't any already left behind, we weren't sure if we should leave them behind. Yes, I know were in a great location for some awesome food, but a person does need a break from all that goodness to have a regular home cooked meal which is part of the reason you rent a place with a kitchen right! Also, if you don't smoke, like us, this may not be a good fit. We woke up 1 of our nights overwhelmed with cigarette smoke permeating throughout the place. Directly downstairs is a facility that I think is a private club that has gatherings which are attended by lots of smokers apparently. I know, smoking is very common throughout Europe. Though the location of this place seems great, which it is nice to be located close to all the action going on, it also comes with the noises associated with all that action going on. And it goes on till early in the morning. San Sebastian is a very beautiful place, and the old town is a great spot to visit, especially all the pintxos bars. But next time we will likely stay just outside of this area and happily walk over to enjoy the bar hopping experience. If you're a runner or a cyclist or even a swimmer, (aka a Triathlete) this area is awesome for these activities as well. We do look forward to coming back to San Sebastian.
