Josu's place is really great. It's in the heart of the old town and is close - in a walking distance - to all places of interest you need to see and visit. It's a very nice and cosy apartment and you have everything you need when you go on a trip like this. And Bilbao is definitely a place to visit, don't hesitate to go there.
Most importantly however Josu and his wife Irene are some of the friendliest and warmest people we have ever met. They did everything to make our stay comfortable. They had thought about everything including tips where to go and how to get there. They were available all the time - before and during our stay at their place. Irene met us at the airport and on the way to the city she took us to a very nice place from where we had the chance to enjoy a beautiful view of Bilbao.
We highly recommend staying at Josu's and Irene's place. It's a great place with the perfect hosts.
