My husband and I enjoyed our week at Josu’s apartment. He is a kind and ultra thoughtful host who is dedicated to ensuring guests make the most of their stay in Bilbao, providing all kinds of tips, information and suggestions about places to visit in and around the city. The apartment is basic, comfortable and reasonably well equipped. Bed is comfortable though on the small side compared to our king at home. Shower is kind of tiny but has excellent water pressure. Great lighting in the bathroom. Our one big niggle is noise from the street, which was particularly bad Thursday to Saturday in the evening until late and through about 6 pm on Sunday. We travel a fair amount and always opt to stay in the old town of the cities we visit so we know to expect some noise but in this case we were overwhelmed. Large groups of people gather to party loudly outside the many bars on the street right below. Unfortunately, you need to both shutter the windows and wear earplugs to get any sleep. Otherwise, a great location.
