Beautiful 3-bedroom apt. w/one bathroom overlooking river and within walking distance to everything worth seeing in Bilbao. It was an enjoyable stay and the apartment felt like a relaxing retreat. We stayed during some of hottest days of the summer, and the apartment cooled off nicely by simply opening the windows. Up the hill we found a couple of really nice but reasonably priced restaurants, and just across the river the historic center with many great options for dining or just eating pintxos. Good options for coffee and a light breakfast are also just across the river or down the street. One pleasant surprise, also, was the bar just across the street that had a live DJ and attracted locals as well as tourists. The bar puts tables in the small plaza, and people sit on the public benches and drink from their own bottles. There were a lot of people there on the weekends especially (we stayed for five days), but it never got too loud or rowdy. There was just a nice festive atmosphere outside all the time, and people seemed to mingle and get along. We had our own drinks upstairs and looked out on the human spectacle from our small terrace. I should add, too, that Marina took the extra effort to meet us upon our arrival and give us suggestions for restaurants and beaches in Portugalete. All of her suggestions were simply amazing. We had such a great time and look forward to going back in the future.
