Xabier was a great host, very accommodating in regards to our early morning arrival from the airport.
The apartment was a great base to explore the city of Bilbao from, as well as the nearby Basque coast, all easy and cheap to get to by public transport. It is located on a street with several cafes and bars, but noise from these was never an issue during our 10 day stay.
The facilities were good too; a nice bathroom, a well equipped kitchen, a very comfortable bed and a balcony where you can enjoy a nice glass of the local wine in the sunshine. Highly recommended.
