Ainara greeted us when we arrived and showed us a printed list of her personal recommendations for various foods and drinks around town. Though we had minimal in-person interactions, we left us breakfast items each morning to enjoy on our own. The room is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, has a VERY comfortable bed, and is directly above a very popular street in Casco Viejo. We learned that the street gets buzzing at night when people of all ages come out to the bars. Thankfully, the apartment is located at the very end of this street and isn't affected as much by the crowds. Also, the windows were fantastic in keeping street sounds out. Because it's so close to Ribera Market, the tram station, and other points of interest in Casco Viejo, Ainara's place was a fantastic choice our first visit to Bilbao.
