My experience at Charo's house was positive overall, especially after meeting her (I stayed for one night but didn't meet her until the next morning).

There were a few things that happened which would be ok for a flexible person (which I am), but that I want to communicate to people who may expect more of a standard experience.

When I arrived to the flat, Charo was at work, but because there were other guests at the house at the same time, I wasn't given a key set by her husband right away. I think it might have been a mix-up, however.

Also, Charo said she would give me an interior and less noisy room to stay in (I can't sleep well), but I was given an exterior room when I arrived (the other guests were in the other room). After talking to Charo about it, however, she was very accomodating and asked the other guests to switch rooms, which I greatly appreciated!

In the morning she sat with me to have breakfast and made me tea as we chatted about our lives. She's a very interesting woman. I recommend staying with Charo, especially for the indepenent traveller.
