Staying with Maria and her son was a pleasure. Maria works long hrs so she is not around much, but her son is unbelievably helpful and very, very nice. The room is lovely, clean and light and the bed was very comfortable. You have a bath to yourself and the whole place is exceptionally clean. It is quite a walk to the old part of the city, but there is lost to see along the way and a delight if you enjoy walking, as i do. Her neighbourhood is mostly residential, but has lots of bars you can eat at, and truthfully it is almost impossible to get a bad meal in San Sebastian. I really like my stay here and would definitely recommend it.
