Apartamento Egia

The the flat is not in the typically tourist areas by the beaches which means it feels like a proper neighbourhood with lots of families and local residents at the bars and shops immediately by the flat. It’s also only 5 mins walk to the centre of the town and nearby Gros. It’s also only a short walk to the bus station if you are going on buses to other towns in the region - such as Bilbao.

It is a good 10/15 min walk from either gros beach or the main beach. This could be a problem if you were staying in San Sebastián on a purely beach holiday. The only problem we had with the apartment was access - the locks on both the front door and the flat door are initially operated by a digital code accessed via WhatsApp. We had a lot of problems with this. Once we had gained access there was a key that worked perfectly.

We had a lovely time here, conveniently close to the old town as well as Zurriola beach for surfing, and Gros area. Apartment itself is well decorated, you can tell the owners are into architecture (Juicy Salif in the pictures gave it away), light, spacious, kitchen well equipped. We were here during Semana Grande (featuring fireworks contest) and we were able to enjoy it from the terrace (penthouse view). Had breakfast in the morning also on the terrace, and lounger is ideal for late evening afterdrink/game with the family. We didn’t meet our host (I’m of that generation that appreciates meeting in person, if only to praise them for what they have done with the place) but she was very responsive for any queries I had, often answering within minutes. San Sebastian itself was surprisingly easy to find glutenfree options (my wife is a foodie with food allergies), for the pintxos this usually meant the warm pintxos. Access to both appartment and building entrance was via app, so every family member had its key, as long as they had their smartphone with them. A code and physical keys were also available, but we didn’t use them. Car was in the parking lot just across, only came out for a roadtrip, and restaurant visits out of town (Casa Julian, Mugaritz, ..yes we saw the “remarkable places to eat” documentary and completely bought into it, and very much enjoyed it.)

None to report.

spacious apartment

location - not sure. convenient but close to train station and all that comes with that could be cleaner

Large and well equipped. Comfortable and a short walk to the historic centre.

Good sized apartment close to bus and trains, local shops and bars and 15 minutes walk to the beach. Well equipped with a large terrace. Would recommend and would use again.

Nothing

the location was perfect. Very close to the parking garage and supermarket, as well as the city center and the Gros neighbourhood. By car, the location is very easy to access from the highway. furthermore, the apartment is modern and lovely decorated. Also, the apartment includes a very large balcony.
