I don't give all 5-star ratings easily, but Olaia & Marco's place fully deserve it. I was in Spain for a month and the room in their apartment and simply who Marco is (Olaia was out of town) was by far my favorite place to stay.

They live in a thriving, lovely neighborhood in Bilbao. Marco is warm, gracious, easy-going and was tremendous help with anything I needed. the space, as it appears, is spotless, roomy and very comfortable.

Not only would I like to return, I would like to live in their apartment! :-)
