Great place for a large group to stay beachside in SanSebastian
We loved our apartment right on La Concha with its own private entrance to the beach and an amazing 2nd floor terrace for your group to take in the beach, harbor and vibrant street scene. Everything in person matched what you see in the pictures and the location could not have been more central.
However, there is a but…and it has to do with the sewage odor that can permeate the apartment at times, particularly in the three bedrooms at the rear of the house facing the street and away from the beach. It was so unpleasant on a few nights that my daughter and her BF had to sleep in the bedroom in the hallway closer to the beach that we weren’t using because my 91-yo mom got Covid and couldn’t make the trip (she’s fine now, thankfully).
This problem was alluded to on another review but not in most of the others l, so perhaps it had to do with the fact that our stay was in late-July/early-August at the height of the summer heat when the city sewage system is at its most strained..
Also know that this issue affects not only this property, as we read similar accounts from others staying by the beach but on the street side of their hotels. And we also had dinner twice at a fabulous nearby restaurant called Aitana and the owner confirmed that it can be an issue along the street nearest to the beach.
Regardless, our party of 8 had a wonderful time in Donostia (alaSan Sebastian) at Zubieta 46. It is a magical and beautiful city with nice parks, noteworthy architecture, great shopping and bookstores, and of course the amazing food.
Many thanks to Natalia and her assistants Alexander and Anna who replied promptly to all our questions and changes in plans over the 2 1/2 years it took to finally make the journey due to Covid.
Richard and the rest of the Strassman family!
