Very nice apartment, fun layout, everything you need, but not private at all. We checked in and within 30 minutes, had to close all the shades to the gorgeous windows because a man was standing below staring up at us. We opened the shades the next day to have the same issues. The noise level from the street below was pretty unexpected as well... Sounded as if large trucks were going to run into the building. The apartment over hangs the street and trucks are moving up and down the street almost all night and early morning. It was very difficult to find parking nearby, only parked in the lot one time near the apartment. Sunday they had a football game in the arena directly behind the apartment. They began shutting the street down before we could check out, we rushed to get out of the lot before we we're blocked off. Pretty decent walk to get to old town Bilbao. Nice location on the river but not private as the photos suggest.
