Jose has earned his Super Host ranking. This was the finest and most satisfying stop of our stay in Spain. Bilbao was a pleasant surprise: vibrant, clean, stunning. We were located nearly on the river, directly across from the market. We were located on one of the narrow, winding, cobbled streets that typify your image of historic Europe and draw you to countries like Spain. By the way, it's a wonderful country. Affordable, gracious people, clean...wow.

Each morning the streets were washed clean, leaving no impression of the countless locals that assemble to eat and drink and bring such wonderful energy to the evening. Walking the streets at night was a highlight: well lit, safe and vibrant. Just plain delightful.

Jose was the most attentive host we've yet had. Both he, and his city, are worth your time.
