Stay in the center of Basque nature very relaxing. The apartment is very well equipped and well functional for a family of 4. The view of the beach from the living room is just splendid! Very quiet beach area but with just the right amount of entertainment. The beach is very pleasant to walk around at any time and all tides. Easy hike to reach Mundaka and Bermeo, 2 beautiful villages and then return by train whose station is 10min from the apartment. Bilbao is also very convenient by train (1 hour). The region offers varied and splendid landscapes, beaches all more beautiful than the others! Communication with Maria was from the beginning very easy and caring, Maria is very warm, accommodating, very responsive and good advice. Thank you for this beautiful exchange which allowed us to discover this beautiful region.
We stayed for two weeks in Maria’s cute apartment. It’s a great spot from which to explore the Basque Country. If you want a relaxing beachside holiday this apartment is 100 m from the water. There’s a cute cafe nearby that serves good coffee and pintxos. You can walk to the train station and get to the larger town nearby for groceries. You don’t really need a car if you want to stay local. We drove to San Sebastián and stayed 3 nights there. The apartment has laundry and cooking facilities, so it’s easy to prepare meals there.
The communication was excellent leading up to my arrival and the homebook with pictures really helped to figure out last uncertainties. We had a non sim but almost sim, so Gonzalo and Maria were so nice in inviting me to a local lunch spot to try local specialties.
The apartment is very well equipped and very close to the beach which has no waves and slow sandy slopes so really nice.
There is a beach bar right by the beach and an ice cream bar that also sells bread in the morning.
There are many things to visit and discover in the area so I will need to go back ;)
We had a wonderful time at Maria's lively beach place. Everything was there that we needed and we had great communication with many helpful tips for the area. I would go back there anytime.
We had a very enjoyable stay in Marian and Gonzalo's lovely apartment. It was our first visit to the Basque Country and everything about the area was amazing. The people, the scenery, the food the beaches were all amazing. We look forward to returning and exploring more of the lovely villages and small towns.
We really enjoyed staying at Maria and Gonzalo's from the moment we landed. They graciously picked us up at the airport even. We were also honoured to have a tour of the region. Thank you. The home is wonderful. A peaceful, relaxing town with a magnificent beach. We enjoyed train rides to nearby towns. The trains were affordable, super clean, and a great way to explore. The home is what we look for. Clean, uncluttered, ready to be lived in, comfortable, the ability to feel at home. And we did. Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay at Marian and Gonzalo's home. It is very well set up with everything required and so close to the beautiful beach. Getting there by car was not difficult and the train station is also within walking distance. We were happy to park up our car and use the train to move around while there. It was so relaxing. The area is very beautiful and the Marian and Gonzalo ensured the exchange was extremely well organised even though they were not there. The perfect end to our European trip.
A very nice apartment 50 meters from the beach by the beautiful bay. Everything you need is available in the apartment. It is a spacious apartment and very comfortable. The beds are also fine. It also stays a bit cooler in the apartment because of the shutters. Despite being somewhat remote, you can explore the area just fine by car or public transport. Half an hour to Bilbao by car, an hour by train. San Sebastian an hour away but you can also enjoy from the balcony with this view. We highly recommend this location if you look for a good time in the Bask country.
Our stay in Urdaibai exceeded all our (already high) expectations. The location is spectacular: a unique setting within a natural reserve, 30 seconds from the beach and a welcoming txiringuito.
The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with everything you need, as described.
Public transportation is great, close by, and very efficient. It takes you to Mundaka, Bermeo, or Gernika in less than 15 min.
This is our second exchange with Marián and Gonzalo, following our stay in their house in Gatika. These outstanding hosts made sure our stay would be perfect again.
Meeting them was the best part of our, already incredible, trip. We hope to see them again very soon.
Maria and Gonzalo were nice and easy guests. Communication worked well before and during their stay, and they left our place perfectly clean.
We would be happy to host them again.
Maria and Gonzalo were excellent guests, we had met in spain before their arrival and met again after my return to my house and shared dinnner. It is such a pleasure to meet likeminded persons and they are welcome any time. They left the apartment as they found it and I am happy to have met them
Ainara ( Marian & Gonzalo’s daughter) and her family have been great guests over the past week. They have taken great care with my home and have reported having a great time locally. I’m really glad they came and hope to see them again!
Maria was a perfect guest. Communication was easy using WhatsApp.
Our home was looked after very well, our plants were watered and the house was clean and tidy when we came home.
We are looking forward to meeting Maria when we go to Spain.
I would recommend an exchange with this family.
It was a pleasure to welcome Rocio and Gorka in my apartment in Copenhagen. A nice and warm couple. The communication before was easy and with quick response. They had left the apartment nice and totally spotless . They were my first guests and now I look forward to welcoming more.
Marían and Gonzalo are incredible people. They have taken care of our place better than we could have done. After a few exchanges, we consider them as real friends. We are looking forward to seeing them soon again.
We love you very much FRIENDS
Maria and Gonzalo are the kind of home exchangers we hope to be. Seasoned, calm, great communicators and ever grateful. They gave us confidence our home was in good hands - and it was. Thank you M and G for being wonderful home exchangers.
We met Rocio and her partner at our location, very nice people. Shared good tips and was very helpfull.
A v kind and considerate guest
Eva's house has been very warm, we did not know her and a neighbor opened the door for us. There is a bus that takes you to the city in 30 minutes. We had a great time and the house has what we need.
Aline and her family have been excellent guests. Maximum fluidity in communication and very pleasant in treatment, they even shared with us beautiful photos of their visits to Urdaibai. We are happy that they had a good time. We highly recommend this beautiful family
A family, parents and their daughter who tell us enjoyed Urdaibai very much. We thank you for your visit. We wish you many happy journeys
The house was taken care of as theirs
A beautiful stay in a neighbourhood 25 m from the centre of Brussels by train. The house is very well located and has everything. It was a pleasure to have dinner with Alexandra and continue to enjoy all the stories of her many trips. We will be very happy to receive you whenever you want
Alexandra is kind, friendly and has many fun experiences to tell from her many trips. It is a joy to chat with her. I take care of our beach house as if it were hers and will always be welcome, now as a friend. A lovely woman.
A lovely couple who have lived in our house for 3 weeks and we haven't even felt them. We wish you had a good time. Calm and respectful
Eline is a very friendly guest who has taken great care of our home. We have been delighted to receive it
On this occasion the exchange was made by my grandchildren and my daughter with her husband. They have come back delighted with the very nice decorated house and in a quiet and very nice area. My grandchildren liked some games near the house. Thank you Katrina for making this exchange a reality. They have enjoyed all your details and attentions.
A couple of very kind friends, everything has gone phenomenal with them and they have taken super good care of the house. Thank you for visiting
Kate was a polite and easy-going guest. Spent 3 nights in our house with your big caravan
Extraordinary guests, we could not meet in person but we connected often. They travel with their large dog that has not even been noticed to have lived in the house. Excellently polite. They have left the house well cared for. An honor to accommodate this type of guest. Come back whenever you want.
It was a real pleasure to welcome our friends Kevvin and Jan into our home.
We were able to enjoy their company and they looked after the house as if it were their own.
I hope our paths cross again in the future.
We stayed at Charlotte's place for 6 days, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. From the moment we arrived, Charlotte welcomed us warmly and surprised us with some delicious local treats—a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated.
The house is cozy and beautifully decorated, making us feel right at home from the start. The location is unbeatable: less than a 5-minute walk to the Line 3 metro station, which takes you directly to the city center. There are also several bus stops nearby, offering convenient options for getting around.
The neighborhood is quiet and safe, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. Plus, it has everything you could need close by: plenty of supermarkets, shops, and of course, Stefano's pizzeria, which is a must-visit if you love great pizza.
Charlotte was always available for any questions or needs, making our stay even more enjoyable.
Magnificent urban apartment facing Mount Royal, located between the French-style buildings of the McGill University campus. It has some bus lines right outside the building. Metro station 5 m walk away and within a 30-minute walk radius you can reach any point in downtown Montreal. The apartment has everything and Gerard and Talya are always in touch with you and ready to help.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad to have become your friends after our exchanges on PLU
The house is located in the best center of Victoria, opposite Rubicon Park, beautiful with lakes, ponds, bike tracks, sports areas and we even saw a little Bamby, a fawn. Be careful on the paths you take because there are many people who live on the street and you can get scared.
The house is beautiful with a terrace that surrounds it. It's a shame that it rained and was cold so we couldn't enjoy it. The hosts are very friendly, they picked us up at the ferry and we are looking forward to receiving them in our house next September.
This is a highly recommended place to get to know Victoria.
I don't want to forget the bus stop, more than 8 lines stop at the door of the building. You can't ask for more!!!! It has been a perfect stay.
A very kind couple whom we will meet in our reciprocal exchange. On this occasion they were received by our daughter Rocio
It was a real pleasure to have Floor and her family as guests in our home. From the moment they arrived, they proved to be kind and respectful individuals. Throughout their stay, they kept the house in perfect condition and were very considerate of the rules and amenities provided. In short, they were exceptional guests, and it would be an honor to host them again in the future.
What a wonderful experience at Floor’s houseboat! The location was simply perfect; every day we venture into the city center, either strolling along a charming pathway or hopping on a nearby bus, always so convenient! Sleeping over the water was a magical experience; waking up to the sight of ducks gently swimming was incredibly relaxing. Having the opportunity to have lunch with the family was great, they are truly lovely people.
Talya and Gerad friends forever
It has been a pleasure to have you as guests.
See you always friends
Talya and Gerad have been guests turned friends
A fun friendly couple and wonderful travelers. We'll meet again
Terri is a perfect guest, punctual and very careful with the house. We totally recommend it.
