Location, location, location. It's less than 10min walk to the museum, the bustling pinxo areas, and shopping! Apartment is bright, large and clean. Great hosts, replied to my questions usually within an hour. Helped us with our heavy luggages and gave us tips around the neighborhood. We traveled with our 8month old baby, Xabi and Almu accommodated us with a crib as well! The only draw back with the location is parking is hard to find and can get expensive. We rented a car in order to drive through La Rioja, but paid a pretty penny for parking when in Bilbao.
