This is a really fantastic apartment. Perfect for two, spacious and well furnished. The location is unbeatable, with the Ribera food market and its fantastic food court 2 minutes away, and all of Casco Viejo and its food and drink possibilities within a 10 minute walk. The street where the apartment is, is itself full of bars, so it gets really busy on weekends, plus there is street cleaning happening every morning. The new windows, which had been replaced right before we arrived, cut out basically all of the outside noise. We entered the apartment on a Saturday at 8 PM, and it was a real shock how little we could hear compared to the outside. However, if you are a light sleeper, you’re staying at the apartment over the weekend and you are not staying out very late yourself, I’d still recommend having a pair of earplugs at hand, because once the apartment quiets down, a tiny little bit of the street noise does come in. But only if you are a light sleeper, really.
We came to Bilbao by car, and Parking Arenal is the nearest and best facility to use.
It’s also worth mentioning that the internet connection is amazing for an airbnb.
The contact with Chris was great.
If we ever make it to Bilbao again, we will try to book this apartment again.
