We had a great time in Bilbao, absolutely loved the city, the beaches, the nearby villages. My new favourite city in Spain!! As regards the flat, the building itself is a bit sad, it definitely needs the makeover they have currently started on the ground floor! The location is OK but be prepared for a trek back up a very steep hill after a walk down to the old town. The flat had everything we needed, no hairdryer though. And really awful mattresses on 2 of the 3 beds!! My back hurt every morning. If you are on a budget and not fussy about comfort, I would recommend this place. But personally, next time I`d pay more to be better located and for a good mattress!
