Kepa's place is located in the old town area of Bilbao which sounds great but really isn't that glamorous. The neighbourhood is messy, dirty and noisy. The street where the apartment is located is very narrow so you're face-up to the opposite house. There is practically no sunlight in the apartment, the bedroom windows facing the cramped backyard and therefore opaque windows. In the evening there's a lot of noise from the street.
The apartment itself is renovated, clean and quite spacious. Unfortunately, cigaret smoke sinking in from the hallway. Would recommend staying on the other side of the river. Or even better, in a smaller town outside Bilbao.
