This functional apartment in the heart of Donostia-San Sebastián is just the ticket for a couple looking for a base to explore the area. While the home's interior won't set the design world on fire, it has everything you need for a short or long stay. Just a stone's throw away from La Concha beach, its prime location allows guests to explore the city centre, the Old Town, and the stunning bay area. The great location does come with bustling nightlife on your doorstep though, so we'd suggest bringing earplugs here. A whole host of eateries are nearby as well – perfect for foodies.

Home truths:
*There's a nightclub nearby, so expect to hear some noise into the early hours. *Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *While the home can sleep up to three people due to the single bed in the living room, the maximum occupancy is two guests. The kitchen window lacks a shutter, so it might be difficult to sleep on this single bed if you are sensitive to light. *The communal areas of this home might appear a little worn and dated in parts. *You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. *The second bedroom is on the smaller side.
