Kyosai “the art of being a good host”
We funded Kyosai to manage tourist apartments from friends and acquaintances, and three years later we have more than 10 apartments.
Kyosai is currently specializing in connecting people who owns tourist aprtment at Bilbao with people who need housing for medium and long stays.
Our best letter of recommendation is, without a doubt, what the guests of the tourist apartments we manage says.

Loved where we stayed. The hills were tough even with the escalator if you aren’t as mobile as you’d like but the apartment was so pleasant it was worth it.... read more

A very nice, quiet, clean and spacious place, very conveniently located by the old city. It provided all the expected facilities, and a warm and friendly welcome by Amaya who... read more checked us in very efficiently. We had a lovely stay.
It would have been nice if over our 6 nights there was a change of linen/towels and a couple of hand towels for the kitchen, but this is a minor issue. Also, the oven is a small microwave/grill one, so don't plan and serious roasting, but all the rest of the kitchen is very good!
The big issue is parking, but this is not Nerea's fault - to the contrary they gave us all possible guidance on how to deal with it - but parking in Bilbao is a nightmare, so either be prepared to pay a lot of money for an underground parking space during your entire stay, or run around to deal with the pathetic curbside parking system.
Regardless of the parking thing though, it is a great place that I am very happy to recommend!

We were two couples and had a wonderful 4 day stay at Nerea’s place! Just outside the Casco Viejo, the apartment is very conveniently located. It was also... read more less than 5 minutes from the La Ribera Market and a supermarket, and basically within walking distance of all the sightseeing we wanted to do. Bilbao is very walkable! Amaya was nice enough to meet us when we arrived in our rental car from a Barcelona flight. She was able to accommodate an earlier check-in, which was greatly appreciated, and took the time to review the city map with us and get us oriented.
The apartment is welcoming. It was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, showers hot, no issue with Wifi and it was quiet at night. We had the best time, thank you!

Great apartment! Olga was our host and was fantastic and responded to all our communication very speedily. The location of the apartment was great for us to explore Bilbao and... read more was very close to shops and 5 min walk to Old Town and ~30 min walk away from the Guggenheim. For families with strollers there is one hill with steps but it is very manageable and there are escalators for the way back up. The location was quiet at night and there are shutters to block out the light so all our kids slept very well.
The apartment was perfect for us. We were 4 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of room. The beds and pillows were super comfortable!! The hosts supplied two travel cots for us for the babies which was very helpful.
We stayed in July and it was +30 degrees. There is no air conditioning but there is a fan and the temperature of the apartment was comfortable when the windows were opened.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Bilbao.

Communication with... read more the renter is very good, she responds quickly- and greets you upon arrival to give you information about local stuff to do, and teach you about the appliances in the apartment.
