Kaixo MARINA

We went early, so there were only a few diners, which suited us. I loved the chicken madras; the Rogan josh was nice too, though milder than we're used to. The decor is beautiful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Loved this restaurant.

A clean, nice apartment in peaceful surroundings, with several restaurants and services only a couple of meters away. The hosts were very friendly. I would have appreciated having a fresh bottle of water in the fridge.

The hosts were lovely and stayed attentive, and getting in was simple: they sent the access code and directions on WhatsApp beforehand, along with suggestions for places to eat. We stayed in a nicely decorated ground-floor apartment in a quiet spot, with local landscape pictures on the walls. The IKEA kitchen had a stone counter, toaster, Dolce Gusto machine and capsules, and a microwave. The small fridge was enough for us since we were rarely in the apartment, though it made some noise at night. The place feels very new, and we could hear the walls creak a little after dark. The bathroom is modern, but the massage shower wasn't working, so we had to use the single-lever faucet. The sofa wasn't especially comfortable either. For parking, there's a covered garage about 150 meters away. It's very narrow, awkward to get into, and I'd avoid it with an SUV. We left the car outside instead, using the resident permit they provided without any trouble, which worked better since Zarautz has lots of those spaces. It was a very good stay, with just a few small things to improve. We came away with a 4.5 out of 5.

A quiet place, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped. The parking is about a five-minute walk away. We found the apartment really comfortable and would definitely come back.
