This is a great apartment on the edge of Casco Viejo. It is easy to get to by transport and also close to the river for a great walk into the new part of town. Our host met us and we had a great conversation about the history of Bilbao and Casco Viejo. It is close to the Ribera Mercado and many pintxos restaurants in Casco Viejo.
The apartment is great with a comfy bed and couch. The layout flows well and is quite spacious. Also the best hand and body soaps! I need to buy both for my own home. There’s a little balcony off the bedroom area with a cute view of the narrow old streets.
Overall, the apartment is beautifully decorated with thoughtful details. Love the bathroom tiles. Great, communicative and friendly hosts.
A tip to keep in mind is that as with most of Spain, the city is mostly closed on Sundays and 99% closed on Mondays. This seemed especially apparent in Casco Viejo. That said, we did miss the wild weekends that the area has to offer. I would definitely stay here again either way but adjust my stay in Casco Viejo to avoid Sunday and Monday.
