Arkupe Apartments / La Casa de Josu

A refurbished very good quality apartment inside very old and original Gothic quart alleyway building. Clean and well appointed, though there was no kettle. The whole building appears rented out, and their approach falls through gap between rented apartments and hotel. Has a mostly unattended office at bottom. Ownership and management is unclear. English is definitely not their first language. Knock hard on outside door to raise attention when you first arrive. Charged us a surprise last minute cash late check in fee outside of airbnb payment process, despite us advising late arrival (9pm) at booking time. Notices claims they will hold bags, but they refused when we inquired.

Location is great, you will feel like you are a citizen, living in a flat between local people. The reception is not 24/7 but you can call the owner if you need any help. Metro station is close so you can easily travel all around the city.
