Patricia's place was wonderful for our week-long stay in Bilbao. The apartment complex is in a quiet neighborhood with a locked gate and a doorman, so it feels very safe and secure. The residents there are quiet, so I was able to get a very good night's rest every night and I was ready to explore the city each day. The location is central to everything interesting, as well as wonderfully close to the Guggenheim museum, delicious restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We walked everywhere the whole week and saved so much money on transportation because we never had to use a taxi or bus. We only took the bus to and from the airport and even that was very convenient, as the stop was just around the corner and only cost 1.45 euros one way. We also took a bus on an overnight trip to San Sebastian and that was lovely as well.
Patricia was communicative, responsive, and helpful throughout the reservation and check -in process. My plane arrived earlier than I expected, so she rushed over to let me in and gave me a tour of the place. Her apartment looks clean, smells clean, and is neat and uncluttered. I really appreciated having the washing machine, dryer, and hair dryer as amenities, as this meant I could pack fewer clothes and hand-held appliances. I only had to bring a carry-on bag because I knew the apartment had these amenities. My trip to Bilboa and my stay in Patricia's apartment exceeded my expectations in every way. I did not want to leave this beautiful city of delicious food and delightful people.
