It's a pension or guesthouse right above the bars in Parte Vieja or Old Town in Donostia-San Sebastián. If you want to do a serious pintxos bar crawl, locate yourselves in this area. You can eat and drink to death and never mind that the crowd can be noisy especially on weekends.
The rooms are clean, though spartan. But the real attraction here is Amparo. She is a widow, lives alone, tidies up the place squeaky clean, and if she likes you, may even cook white asparagus and artichokes for you. As she did for mi sobrina y nieto. Our friends and family have stayed with Amparo a total of 3 times. And Amparo remembers. 💕
This is Amparo. True Basque, through and through. She hardly speaks English but her hand gestures and facial expressions will suffice to make her understood. If you read the reviews, those who've stayed here were obviously charmed by Amparo. She welcomes you, and easily makes you a friend. Not a guest, but a dear friend. She has a good memory and remembers her guests very well. Tells you how interested she is in people. If you're not looking for luxury but just a modest, tidy, safe and excellently located guesthouse, this is it.
