Virginia was an excellent host and her apartment is very cute. We arrived on a Sunday and she was able to let us into her apartment earlier than the stated checkin. Her place is very well maintained and she has all of the basics pull some extras such as milk, orange juice, maps, and information brochures. The location is wonderful and central to all you can want to do in Bilbao. We only used buses and metros when leaving Bilbao on day trips, everything else you could want to do in Bilbao can be reached by foot!
