We had a great stay at Lorea's place in Barakaldo. The metro station into Bilbao was literally just down the street from the apartment so you could easily get to places like the Guggenheim within 15 minutes. The apartment is well appointed and laid out conveniently - the bedrooms are sizeable and it was great for our group to have two bathrooms. Also, Lorea suggested we go to a free blues concert (part of Bilbao Blues) the night we arrived and it was a great show - gracias Lorea!!!
