The location of this apartment is excellent. The amenities are excellent. (The washing machine is especially helpful to have.) Albana is a great host, it's incredibly roomy, and we were very pleased with our stay. The neighborhood is safe and lively and we did not miss not being in Bilbao center at all. It's a very short trip into the center, and in many ways it's nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the larger city. The only negative is that there was some flies that got into the apartment, which we found a little bit annoying. There are no screens on the windows, so you just have to be careful about keeping the windows closed when you are not needing the fresh air to come through.
