Just up a short hill from Casco Viejo, Dagmara's home was the perfect place for us to stay on a week visit to Basque country where Bilbao served as our base for day trips to the surrounding countryside. Dogmara provided great travel advice for using public transit for day-trips (particularly her guide for seeing San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, and Guernica in a single day). We enjoyed visiting with Dogmara and her family, giving our trip a chance to actually get to know someone in the city we were visiting. Highly recommended!
