Our stay was wonderful. Upon arrival we were shown where to park and received assistance with our luggage and a short tour of the apartment. The apartment itself was very clean and perfect for our family. We loved the quiet location with wonderful cafes and restaurant minutes away. We would definitely stay here again for any return trips!
Everything was perfect with our stay in Hondarribia. The apartment's location is great, with easy access to everything you might want to see in Hondarribia. Alvaro was great and he helped us with parking, making us comfortable at the home during check-in, and being always available to provide recommendations for things to do in the area. We would love to stay at the apartment again if the opportunity were to come up.

The location in this historic city is unbeatable. The walled area is charming and ancient but this apartment is modern and extremely comfortable.
Oh, the vagaries of making a quick booking under pressure, on the mobile app without prescription glasses!
My Search was originally San Sebastian - in the Old Town. This certainly ticked the box for Old Town but in Hondarribia.
What a delight! Charming property in an historic setting, newly refurbished, and our home from home for a long weekend - with the added bonus of neighbouring France just a short walk and ferry-ride away.
Easy bus journey into San Sebastian - just ideal for our needs.
Our Host Alvaro was attentive and generous - nothing was too much trouble.
The property was advertised properly. Great location with many restaurants nearby. Beautiful town and the host was excellent with ideas and information.
Alvaro's place is in an amazing location. Even without going into the town (which is walkable) , there are several bars and restaurants just a few steps away, including a lovely courtyard in which to have drinks and pintxos. The apartment is well equipped with everything we could have needed. The bed was very comfy.
Alvaro was a wonderful communicator. At the beginning of our stay he met us in the carpark and showed us around the property and gave us tips on things to do. He was available for any questions we had throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this property.
Our stay in Hondarribia was our favorite. The flat is updated, very clean, and comfortable. We loved being right in the middle of this adorable town. Alvaro was also an amazing host and gave us restaurant and attraction recommendations. We really enjoyed taking the bus to San Sebastián for the day (20 minute ride). We already want to return for a second visit.
Alvaro was a wonderful host during our 5-night stay. Helped us with our luggage from our rendezvous point. He was super attentive via WhatsApp and gave us great dining and sightseeing recommendations. The property was well appointed and charming. We enjoyed several meals on the balcony overlooking the Calle Mayor.
Could not have asked for a better experience…our host (Alvaro) was the best! He helped us with our bags and gave us great local advise on local sites and great restaurants! 5 stars across the board!
This place is great. Hondarribia is terrific... so many fun things to do and eat! The location of this apartment, inside the walled city, is perfect. Alvaro was a terrific host and went out of his way to give us advice on things to do. The apartment was well equipped and very comfortable Great for a family.
We stayed here for a week to explore the Basque country. It is a great place witg most sights a reasonable drive away. The apartment was superb and tastefully furnished. We found the whole place a great place to stay and the comfort of the apartment was great. The location is central and plenty to do within walking distance. We hired a car from the airport and there was a free car park 2 minutes away. Alvaro was extremely helpful and made sure we enjoyed our time there. I would thoroughly recommend the apartment!

Extremely good 2nd floor apartment situated in the Medieval Quarter of Hondarribia
Alvaro was very approachable, and could not have been more helpful,
The apartment was in excellent condition with all facilities that one would require and we would recommend it to anybody without hesitation
The convenience of the apartment allowed us to walk to all interesting sights and venues including the many restaurants and bars.
Grateful thanks

We loved the location of this apartment. Within a few blocks there are many restaurants, little grocery stores, parks, and beautiful views of the river dividing Spain from France, and of course, the ocean. The apartment had many wonderful touches, a washing machine, a deck to hang them out to dry, and little convenience items in the kitchen. There were even great travel books available to read up on the area! The owner was most gracious and accommodating and quick to respond with any question we had! He was ready to explain how to get around the area, such as where the bus stop was and how to get over to San Sebastian. We originally wanted to stay in San Sebastian, but found this place simply charming! We would definitely like to stay here again if we come back to the area.

The perfect place to stay in Hondarribia
We came across an article in ‘Traveller’ which led us to choose Hondarribia as our base instead of San Sebastián. We were glad we made this choice for a number of reasons, and one of them was Alvaro’s apartment. In short, there was not one thing that we did not like about the apartment. It was clean, comfortable and attractively decorated. We have also come to know that your apartment choice is a good one when it is stocked with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and then there are a few thoughtful things added. In this case a bowl of chocolates, a bottle of cider and a Nespresso machine with a generous supply of pods - this is not a limited list and it is the kind of thing that goes beyond what you might hope or expect of your host. The apartment is located in the most attractive street in the Old Town and is in easy walking distance of the area that has most of the pintxos bars and restaurants - although make sure you visit Gastroteka Donantzat which is just around the corner. Parking is free and just outside the gate that leads into the street where the apartment is located. We left our car there for the whole time we were in Hondarribia as we could walk everywhere we wanted to go in the town and it was much easier to catch the bus to San Sebastián. The final word of this review must go to Alvaro who was an exceptional host. He met us at the arranged place promptly, guided us to the carpark, transferred our luggage to his car and gave us an orientation tour of the town. He was always easy to contact and was just so charming and friendly. So stay in Hondarribia and stay in Alvaro’s apartment for a truly wonderful stay.
Nuestra primera experiencia en País Vasco fue afortunado tanto en alojamiento como en el lugar escogido, Hondarribia. La recepción y amabilidad del dueño fue ejemplar, personalizada, y el alojamiento en todos los aspectos supera el "10" (acogedor, limpio, cómodo, muy completo, buenísima ubicación,...) lo tiene todo. Muchas gracias por todo!!.

Exceptional accomodation from an experience point of view right in the heart of the old town. The views from the apartment are beautiful and walking around the old town, you feel like you’ve stepped into an epic movie set with warmest, most authentic and friendly people. In the apartment everything was clean, comfortable and wonderfully appointed. Easy access to great dining, tapas and bars both local and into San Sebastian and/or the Basque side of France. I highly recommend Alvaro’s place and Hondarribia as a wonderful location-it exceeded all our expectations. We will be back!

El apartamento es muy cuco y muy coqueto. Está en plena entrada del casco histórico de Hondarribia. La casa está rehabilitada y es muy genuina. Álvaro y Birkide son gentiles y muy atentos tanto en recomendaciones gastronómicas como en sitios para visitar y mercados para comprar. Hemos ido mi marido y mis hijos de 12 y 10 años y nos hemos alojado muy cómodamente. Super limpio, camas cómodas, la ducha magnífica y la calefacción funciona perfectamente. Una casa de 10. Sin duda la recomendamos. Un sueño de vacaciones.
L appartement est très bien situé, propreté irréprochable, très bien équipé. Alvaro est très sympathique. Petit bémol sur la deuxième chambre plutôt petite, le 4eme couchage est plus un couchage d appoint. Bon séjour pour nous!
Malgré la pluie nous avons adoré notre passage à Hondarabi
Le village est mignon et l'emplacement de l'appartement idyllique. De plus nous avons adoré séjourner dans ce magnifique appartement bien chaleureux ou rien ne manque
Notre hote est aux petits soins pour nous faciliter le séjour et toujours à l'écoute. Nous le remercions bien chaleureursement.
El apartamento es especialmente agradable y está muy bien equipado, además de detalles que han hecho muy cómoda nuestra estancia.
El emplazamiento es en el centro histórico, animado y perfecto para conocer bien Hondarribia y sus alrededores.
Todo esto, unido a la amabilidad de Álvaro, que nos ha ayudado el primer día con las maletas y que ha estado pendiente de nosotros.
