Great Place
The aparta hotel was amazing and very friendly. They accept dogs which was great for us. Definitely recommend it. Very clean, lovely surroundings. Around 20 to 25 min walk into town. 5 min by car.

Disappointing…
After a promising start (an early check-in on a Sunday)… I quickly found that the air conditioning in my room (208) was faulty, even dangerous, with water condensing within the unit and dripping heavily onto the floor below and very close to the TV. Thank goodness I didn’t leave it switched on and leave the apartment for any length of time. I contacted reception using the same WhatsApp channel they initially contacted me on to try and get it quickly resolved, but no comms were forthcoming aside from a ‘we’ll take a look’ Assuming it had been fixed later the following day, I tried it again and more water dripped onto the floor. Unfortunately I had to use the two towels issued (should have been four) to dry the floor… and was later accused stealing the two towels they hadn’t issued me with! Was this because I complained?? The bathroom basin plug was also totally defective (old, stuck and would not pop-up), as was the bath plug (far too small). The apartment felt a little tired in places… and a little further from town/train station than I had realised (poor research on my part). Parking was a highlight with plenty of good sized spaces! Up until the point I was basically accused of stealing some very cheap white towels (that were missing on day 1, along with a bath mat), the stay was at best, adequate.

The property was nice and was an easy walk into town and the beach. Easy train ride to SAN Sebastian The greatest feature of the property was definitely the hostess. She was very helpful with any question and had great recommendations on what to do and where to eat etc.

Spacious clean unit
A bit difficult to locate but greeted with a friendly reception. Room nice and clean and newish! NO aircon so got quite hot in evening. Well equiped kitchen and Washing machine was fantastic! 3 minutes drive to beach or 20 minute walk. Good place to relax.

Nice apartment in a small block
A pleasant apartment in a small block - all was good about it except that on neighbouring plots building work is taking place - nothing the owners can do about it but doesn't make for a quiet stay and the view isn't all it might be. Despite that, we really enjoyed the stay, the apartment and the friendly, helpful staff who did all they could (from booking restaurants and printing boarding cards) to make our stay pleasant. It's a 15 minute walk into the town centre but we didn't find that a problem. Zarautz is busy in August so being a little way out was helpful. The area was safe and clean, we always felt relaxed about being there. Zarautz has train links to San Sebastian (worth a visit) and bus links to neighbouring villages.

Great Base in Zarautz
The staff were super helpful and friendly and the apartment is in a great location for exploring the area. A great kitchen and comfy sofa bed. While there was building work very nearby, there was minimum noise in the apartment, so it was of little consequence. The free parking and WiFi was really handy. I would definitely recommend/ stay here again.

Great value and nice hostess
Great sized room which I think was for four people. It had every appliance including a washing machine in the room. Very nice hostess. Room was clean. Two items in the room needed maintenance. The range hood didn't work and the TV was looking like it was about to fall off the wall. The area is great for the beach, location to town and great walks. Good value

Great staff made for an enjoyable stay. Recommend apartments with good facilities for the price and as a bonus our terrace had views over the hills. A fair walk of 25 plus minutes to the central area but good starting point for walking to the beach or to Orio.

Great apt!
From the moment we arrived we encountered a friendly face in Maider! She was welcoming and gave us great directions and tips for getting around the village. Our apt was wonderful spacious clean and comfortable with amazing views from terrace and close proximity to town and beach while still private and quiet. Short drive to other towns...San Sebastian a must! The beach has incredible views and the bars/restaurants are great quality.

Value for money in expensive area
We wanted self catering in San Sebastian, but found all too expensive. We decided to try Zarautz, only 20 minutes by train from San Sebastian. Talaimendi is on the outskirts of the town but there is a nearby train station and bus stop.The quality of food in the Basque country is excellent, reminding me of how I felt in rural France 30 years ago. San Sebastian has more Michelin stars per capita of population than any other city in the world. Talaimendi Apartments are great value for money and the reception was extremely friendly.The suite we had was huge with an enormous balcony..

Tapas at Sunset
This is a tourist apartment and is perfect for a family or a group of five or more people. The town is cute and I recommend eating at sunset at the Castle restaurant by the sea. Tapas and a little wine is something you just can't beat. The town is small enough that you can walk to the beach, otherwise there is pay parking. The train into San Sebastian is much better than driving in the busy city. This gave us an opportunity to enjoy San Sebastian as we walked through it towards the beach and shopping. It was a great time for all.

La recepción esta estupendamente regentada por Maider, que para nosotros, en un solo dia, es como que ya fuera de la familia... una fuera de serie.. atenta, servicial y simpatica. Por lo demas.. un acierto haber encontrado este sitio.. totalmente recomendable

desequilibrio calidad-precio
Hemos estado anteriormente en otras ocasiones y, ahora, la relación calidad/precio es desequilibrada, hay cierto descuido de las instalaciones y el mobiliario. Son pequeños detalles, pero tienen importancia, hay deterioro en el parquet, poca presión del agua en la ducha, colchas y decoración de otras épocas, el sofá cama sin sábanas adecuadas, el mantel para cubrir la mesa del comedor estaba pegajoso, tenían prisa para que dejáramos el apartamento, (entras después de las 16:00 y te tienes que marchar antes de las 12:00. En fin, par el precio que tiene... la calidad, ahora, está bastante por debajo.

Positivo: apartamento muy equipado (hasta plancha, lavadora y lavavajillas), la calefacción funcionaba muy bien, silencioso, magnífica atención de Maider en recepción. Negativo: sofá cama incómodo y tenía las sábanas sucias, nos dimos cuenta por la noche y ya no hay nadie para poder darte otras porque la recepción cierra a las 19 horas. Vistas mejorables y lejos del pueblo para ir andando.

Apartamentos Talaimendi 100% recomendables!
Me alojé en Talaimendi por trabajo y ha sido una experiencia fabulosa. Empezando por Maider, que nos cuidó como si fuéramos de la familia y terminando por el apartamento, muy espacioso, tranquilo, a 15 min andando de la playa y, además, admiten mascotas. Repetiremos seguro!!!

Angenehmer Aufenthalt im Baskenland
Angenehme Unterkunft mit hervorragender Rezeption mit super Empfehlungen und Ortsbeschreibung. Schade, dass die Wohnungen bereits deutlich verwohnt sind und nicht alles funktionierte z.B. Abzugshaube. Trotzdem die Unterkunft ist für Selbstversorger jederzeit zu empfehlen und wir kommen auch wieder. Zarautz hat seinen eigenen Charme und ist immer wieder ein Ziel wert aber ungeschlagen ist San Sebastian.

Apta . pequeño, sin aire acondicionado, baño sucio
No vale lo que piden. La ubicación es 2 Km a la playa y cuesta arriba. El apto. pequeño y caluroso. No tiene aire acondicionado. El baño es de pensiones baratas. El plato de la ducha esta oscuro y da asco pisarlo. En mi caso intente abandonar el segundo día y el dueño apto seguido cargo el pago. Me tuve que aguantar toda la semana. Un desastre de apartamento. No se lo recomiendo ni a mi peor enemigo.

appartements propres et bien équipés.
L'appartement est confortable, propre et très bien équipé, le tout pour un prix intéressant. Il semble qu'en cette saison (fin février), le petit déjeuner ne soit pas proposé, mais on peut le prendre à l'appart (si on pense à faire les courses avant !). Seul bémol: le wifi est vraiment faiblard. L'hôtel est un peu en retrait de la ville, mais une grande surface est à 5 minutes en voiture et la plage à 10 minutes à pieds.
