This was a lovely experience and we are so glad we visited Bilbao. The location of the apartment is so that you can get to anywhere easily by catching the train or metro. The pub downstairs is a great place for lunch or a snack. Even the building manager was a treat, always friendly and helpful.
The apartment is huge and comfortable. You'll find it very lived in, but the kitchen and bathrooms are updated. The balcony space is a great place to relax with wonderful views of the city.
In the summer with the windows open you will hear a lot of noise from the streets during the night. Sometimes just from the recycling but also from the bars that are downstairs. Even 13 floors up the sounds travels. So light sleepers may want ear plugs.
Bilbao is a unique place to visit and we are so glad we made the trip!
