After a long drive me and my family felt very welcomed since Jose organized us a parking spot so we would not have to search for one. Also to find some things in the fridge on arrival like some cold beverages was just perfect. The appartment itself with its intense coloring and playful details was a big change to what we are used to which made it all the more interesting. Even better is its location right next to the river in Portugalete with bars all around and the famous hovering ferry. We even got to watch a rowing boat regatta from the window of the living room. If I desperately wanted to complain about anything then I could only mention two things - 1) the parking is a bit difficult and even if you find a good spot it was a bit of a pain to carry all bags and stuff up to the appartment 2) as usual in Spain the streets are full of people right into the night with respective noise levels, so after a long day and with small children like ourselves we sometimes wished for some peace and quiet before 11pm - but all of this is hardly under Joses influence ;-).
