(1) Location: Yes, next it's next to the "old town" area, but it is in a residential area, atop a very steep hill. There is a convenient grocery market very nearby. (2) Sleeping: One bedroom was quiet and dark, but the other is bright at night (unless the blind gets fixed), and it's noisy due to its shared wall with the building's front lobby. (3) Kitchen: Tight quarters with little counter space. Overall, when compared to the listing, the apartment was not as bright and modern as we expected. (Bilbao is a damp place.)
