Me and my husband are in our 60s and love going for city breaks around Europe. We have just got back after 3 nights in Bilbao, and highly recommend it! It’s really easy to get around, there’s lots to see, food and drink are great value and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Josu’s apartment is on the first floor in a street in the historic quarter. It’s quiet during the day, but in the evening several bars open up until the small hours. If you can’t stand noise, this will be an unavoidable problem for you - all I can say is that we managed to sleep through it well enough. Of course, you can always just join the fun and go to bed late!
The apartment itself is in a great location in Bilbao and contains everything you need. And Josu and his wife, Irene, could not have been more helpful. Josu met us at a local tram stop and then showed us all over the apartment. He connected my devices to the WiFi and even set up a WhatsApp group between me, him and his wife so they could answer any questions we had. They made a number of great suggestions for local bars and restaurants and places to visit, which were all excellent.
Josu and Irene really were exactly the type of host you want and need when you’re in a strange town!
