Maria's home was wonderful, newly redecorated and very central in a quiet part of Getxo: 2 min walk from the supermarket, 15 min walk to the beach, 10 min walk from the main street with lots of restraurants and shops and only 20 min to Bilbao (metro). Maria was a friendly and considerate host who offered lots of good recommendations for what to see in Getxo. Communications with Maria was very easy and fast; her English is excellent and she also speaks German. The appartment has all you need and is very beautiful. The appartment is not soundproof, but hearing the foot steps of the neighboor was never a problem to us. We would strongly recommend Maria and her home, it's perfect!
