Having Josu and Irene as our hosts was as nice as staying with family. That is, if you are lucky to have family who are REALLY nice. They were most welcoming and went above and beyond any expectations.
The location is superb. Our daughter and her friends who were in Bilbao on a study abroad program just couldn’t believe how close we were to major sites and transportation.
There were some reviews mentioning noise and it was indeed considerable on some nights, but make sure to lower the blinds all the way and use good ear plugs ( of course Josu will provide some or bring your favorite ones as we did). Enjoy the apartment and most importantly meeting these wonderful people!
