“Rooms here can be surprisingly generous, sometimes even upgraded to studio-like spaces, plus it's great to know that thoughtful communication starts well before arrival with the host; efficient check-in is a bonus. I also like the setting across the river from the old city, with its own lively bar scene and easy access to the beach. For what San Sebastian demands overall, this place smartly balances location and value.”
