Jose was very helpful and communicative before we arrived, giving advice on getting there and parking our car and when we arrived he helped us settle into his apartment and answered questions we had about the neighborhood. A very good host. His apartment itself is very nice and full of gadgets and amenities to make for a comfortable stay. The location is maybe the best part, in the charming old town area and around the corner from tons of tapas bars, cathedrals and covered markets. We were there on a Friday evening in August and the streets were full of all sorts of people enjoying life. A great place to stay in Bilbao.
