Lu23 is a gorgeous apartment and is even better that the pictures show. Another reviewer said the area isn't sexy and I totally get what they are saying, BUT it is so easy to get into the city or to the Vizcaya Bridge on the metro that is literally across the road and runs regularly, that it doesn't matter at all. And although it is a tight road (we came in a camper van with bikes on the back), the parking is such a bonus. Eva made it so easy and welcoming to stay, her communication was perfect and helpful and she kindly gave some vegetarian restaurant advice when asked. There was a metro card for us to use that was easy to top up as we went, and can be used on trams and the fenicular too. She also offered for us put our bikes in the lobby. Thank you for the cake and salads from your garden, what a treat. The flat had everything we needed and is spacious and comfortable, just be aware there are 11 steep and narrow steps up to the front door. It was a 5 minute drive to a huge Carrefour, 20 minutes to beaches and very easy to get to the ferry. We would absolutely choose Eva's apartment again, and as we loved Bilbao hopefully it won't be too long.
