Valentin is a fabulous host! Right from my booking, he would provide instant replies to all of our questions about his apartment and the city of Bilbao. He provided great detail as to how to find his apartment and also how to access the building.
Unfortunately, our flight was delayed but he was still able to meet us when we finally arrived about midnight. Even when walking round the city, if we had a question, he would provide information immediately. It honestly felt that we had our own tourist guide at the end of a phone!
The apartment is exactly as described : cosy, quaint, very clean and smart! It is just a couple of minute's walk to the local square with shop, bar and breakfast Taberna ; just ten minutes from the gorgeous Old Town and about 30 minutes from sights such as the Guggenheim. Thanks to his help, we found it easy to navigate the city.
It was a wonderful break (including February temperatures of 22 degrees C!) . If we were ever able to return, we would definitely stay at Valentin's apartment again !
Thanks you for your kindness, assistance and super hospitality !
