Jose is a great host! The apartment was exactly what the pictures showed and was a perfect location for our stay in Bilbao/Portugalete. There are cafes and bars just downstairs and it is within a short walk of the metro and tram services in town. Jose was quick to respond to any questions we had and even helped get us a taxi early in the morning on our way out of town. The apartment had everything we needed to cook when we did, although we were too busy eating all the delicious food in town to cook too much! Jose even stocked the refrigerator with some beer, milk and soda for when we arrived! I would definitely stay here again on our next visit to the area.
