Everything about Chris' apartment met our expectations & then some. Its strategic location & Chris' special attention to details, such as availability of international news channels, crisp bed linen, & classy interior decor made our 3 nights stay in Bilbao very comfortable & memorable! As expected in an old town environment, sounds from the daily community activities were tolerable. We had our windows open day & night. However, we were just there from Monday-Thursday; weekends may be different. Thank you, Chris for opening your home to us!
