We stayed at Inés’ flat as part of a road trip we took through the north of Spain in December. It was one of six Airbnbs we stayed at during our trip. So, I can now say, Inés’ apartment has been by far one of the best accommodations we had in Spain, not only because the flat itself is very clean, comfy, stylish, well-equipped, but because Inés herself makes you feel welcomed and taken care of. She was there to check us in and give us all the information we needed to get us started in Bilbao. She left us milk, butter, jam, and little cakes for our first breakfast (and a bottle of wine!). She even lent us her train card so we could move about in public transport. There were board games and other toys to keep our little ones entertained. Bluetooth speaker and Smart TV features to use (ie Netflix). She was very flexible with check-out times and overall very nice and responsive when communicating. On top of the that, the flat is a five minute walk into the casco viejo (town centre), where you can find all types of restaurants, cafes, and shops. About a block from the flat you’ll find a small supermarket but there are also many independent grocers around. It’s a few minutes walk to tram/metro stops which would take you to the Guggenheim museum (10 mins) and other parts in town. I recommend the river tours (Bilboats), and the funicular which gives you amazing views of the city, both were a hit with our kids. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to go to Portugalete for the Vizcaya bridge (hanging bridge), which has amazing views as well if you climb it up.
