Our stay in Bilbao was lovely and comfortable thanks to Lurdes. Her place is not in the touristic centre so you can get away from the crowds and eat in local restaurants, but it is only a ten minute walk to the old town so you are not far from anything. Everything was very clean and Lurdes gave us some great tips on places to eat and visit in the local area. Lurdes is so friendly and welcoming, I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I were to return to Bilbao.
