We felt very comfortable because the house is very personal, stylish and practically furnished. The kids loved the spacious playroom with the toys.

5 out of 5 average rating, 66 reviewsApartment in downtown Santander and nearby beaches
Stayed at Carmen’s apartment for a week which we really enjoyed. Carmen met us at the apartment and showed us around which was great . The apartment itself was very comfortable and plenty of space for 2 couples. We found the area to be very handy for both the beaches and for walking into town centre for food and drinks. We would highly recommend it as a place to stay when in Santander and plan to return in the future .

This is a wonderful apartment in the centre of the city with plenty of great restaurants and wine bars on the doorstep. The apartment is spotlessly clean and has everything as described. There is a wonderful view looking over the bay. It is only 1 min walk to the bus stop which we took to the beach. The buses are very frequent and easy to use. Both Cristian and his sister are very responsive to any enquiries we had. We had a wonder stay and hope to return. Thanks for everything

Rental unit in Santander
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 75 reviews3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, center, light and spaciousness
The apartment that is advertised is exactly as described. Because we already received several instructional videos in advance, it was very easy to get the key (near the bus station) and enter the apartment (a 10-minute walk). With a small elevator you reach the 7th floor where there is a nicely maintained and clean apartment with 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. Spacious kitchen with all appliances available + washing machine. Large dining table and a seating area with TV (only Spanish channels, so possibly bring your own chromecast). The entrance is located in a quiet street, the complex is also quiet but you will be at a supermarket or various restaurants nearby in no time. This apartment is definitely recommended and so is the host. / It is not in the lowest price range but is definitely worth it.
