Mere steps from San Sebastian's iconic horseshoe-shaped bay and the golden sands of La Concha beach, with the atmospheric old town nearby, this chic contemporary apartment is an ideal base for those looking to enjoy the alluring coastline and the gastronomic delights of Spain's unofficial culinary capital.

The city has a hard-won reputation as one of the top foodie destinations in the world. And after spending a short time exploring the casco viejo, it's easy to see why. Whether you're hopping from bar to bar snacking on pintxos, or sitting down to a creative take on the classics at Kokotxa, when it comes to cooking, San Sebatián is beyond compare.

Its recently renovated interior is decorated in soothing neutral tones. Locally inspired artwork and botanical prints adorning the walls only enhance the relaxed beachside atmosphere. A well-equipped kitchen comes with everything you need for a self-sufficient stay. However, with so many celebrated eateries on your doorstep, we doubt it will see much use.

Home truths:
*Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available on request

*The dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace

*Given the central location, you may experience some street noise

*The apartment is located on the first floor with lift access, so it may be suitable for guests with more limited mobility
