The flat is very well placed in the old town for exploring all of the sights in Bilbao. The apartment is on the first floor of an old building but Edortxa was very helpful in carrying our suitcases up the stairs. It is very well equipped and Edortxa has been thoughtful in providing coffee tea juice milk and some cakes. Although it is in a lively area it is quite quiet at night. It is also very easy to find a taxi for the airport although you need to walk out of the old town as it is all pedestrianised. The Guggenheim is just along the river and the new town with smart shops is close by. You must also go to the main market which is at the end of the road by the river to sample pintxos.
