A stone's throw from the charming Plaza de Gipuzkoa, one of the most iconic spots in the city, this stylish apartment offers modern 21st-century living within a classic building. Your host employed a team of designers to oversee its recent renovation. Inspired by mid-century design principles, they succeeded in creating a space that manages to be simultaneously contemporary and timeless. Organic shapes, geometric patterns and bright pops of colour add visual flair to the period bones of the building, with original features such as elegant arched windows that overhang the street below adding some charming eccentricity. Step outside and you'll find yourself right in the thick of the action, just 100m from San Sebastian's bustling Old Town and the beautiful beachside Paseo de La Concha. It's an ideal location for anyone looking to discover the city's history and make the most of its renowned culinary scene. In fact, it's barely 500m to the nearest Michelin-starred establishment, with plenty of local bars serving sumptuous pintxos closer by.
