Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Ich habe hauptsächlich Spanisch mit Dori geübt und sie hat geduldig alle meine Fragen beantwortet.
Das Zimmer ist relativ klein, verfügt aber über eine eigene Toilette mit Waschbecken.
Ideale Lage: neben dem Bus, um ins Zentrum zu gelangen.

Dori et Marcos ont été des hôtes parfaits! Ils ont été extrêmement disponibles et notre envie de pratiquer l'espagnol a vraiment été comblée. Nous avons mangé ensemble, fait des visites, joué à un jeu de société le soir. L'appartement est d'une propreté irréprochable et très bien situé.

"Our family is Marcos, Eritz and Dori.
Marcos: easy-going, with a sense of humor and a bit absent-minded. He works 4 hours a day in the maintenance of the facilities of an English School. By training he is a computer systems administrator, carpenter and amateur naturalist.
Dori: talkative, kind, direct and demanding but flexible. Trained as a biologist but working as a freelancer teaching German to children and adults.
We both try to be a environmentally concern. We recycle, use less plastic, move by public transport, spare energy, buy at small local shops and eat some bioveggis.
Eritz: active baby exploring the world. He communicates but not speaking yet.
Our apartment has 2 bedrooms, 1 dining kitchen, 1 living room, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet. It is in Uribarri's district , at a 15 min walk from the center. Nearby there is a large park and within a 30-minute walk there are restaurants, museums, sports centers, cinemas, shopping malls,... The beach is just over 30 minutes by subway and the city is surrounded by hills.
Bilbao and our neighbourhood is safe. Our apartment is not that luxurious but light and big enough to have your private and shared space.
Our guest bed is 1,35mx1,90m big.
During the week Marcos works in the mornings. I work afternoons and evenings. We usually have lunch and dinner together. We cook our own meals. The rest of the time we do household related things or meet with friends (Dori), go to the gym (Marcos), go out to the countryside, play board games, visit the family, go to the beach... However, nowadays we mainly look after our baby that means going to the park.
We have a small experience with Lingoo guests but we have experience as flat mates with people from different countries. I myself have been an exchange student, university student and volunteer abroad. Marcos and I were once together at a workcamp in Germany.
We are both very interested in meeting people from different cultures and are willing to share our available time as well as activities. Regarding the language I have a great inclination to correct mistakes so whoever comes he/she will be able to correct their Spanish. We believe that we would benefit from being able to learn things from you, your interests, culture and in some way it would take us out of our routine.
In September 2024 we are not available anymore."
