Julia is the kindest host I have ever had. She greeted us as check in, gave us booklets with possible things to do in the area, and was overall a treat. The apartment was clean and spacious with all of the necessities for a week long stay like we had. Location wise, it’s a bit of a decent into the city so be prepared for a long uphill walk home, but it is so worth it. Portugalete is a great place to stay in because it’s not crowded and busy like Bilbao is, but it’s only a 30 minute metro away if you so choose to go. I highly recommend this place.
