Apartment is in the heart of the old town area of Bilbao. The neighborhood is very unique and eclectic and at first a bit of a culture shock. It is very rowdy and loud at night into the wee hours, given the numerous tapas bars around the apartment. Neighborhood is also a bit gritty, but that is what makes the experience unique. The apartment is nicely remodeled/renovated in a modern way, but the building is very old, therefore the stairways and hallways are quite rundown, a bit smelly and honestly the stairs were very creaky and scary to walk on; I’m just not used to it. The apartment itself is very comfortable. I suggest to wear your thong sandals (flip-flops) in the shower as the wood floor of the shower stall has gotten moldy. Apartment’s location is very convenient and I could easily walk to the Guggenheim museum and to other major tourist sights. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.
