Eyuan was a great host. He allowed us to check in early. He replied to messages promptly. He sent excellent directions including photos so we easily found the apartment. The apartments itself was lovely. Very spacious. lots of cute quirky touches. Well stocked with lots of essentials so we didnt need to buy much. Its location is great. right in the old town. If I went back to Bilbao I would definitely stay here again. Top marks.
Only one negative, and it's not anything that Eyuan can do anything about and so I haven't taken it into account when scoring the appartment, but I wanted to mention it because, as two women travelling alone, it was a bit disconcerting at first. The stairs outside the apartment seem to be a popular place for middle aged Spanish men to get drunk. The first night someone was asleep on the step outside the apartment and we had to step over him. We didn't feel unsafe but both said if we had have been travelling with other people they might well have done.
