Jose’s place is just 2 mins walk to the old town of Bilbao (Casco Viejo). The old town confusingly is not the city center unlike a lot of other European cities. But the old town is the most interesting and where most touristy things are (other than the Guggenheim).
Jose provides a map and suggested self walking tour that is awesome. The apartment is clean and I hardly saw Jose. It’s an awesome experience to share his home. Thank you Jose
