We were greeted warmly by the host with a delicious treat of local sweets. The apartment is very well located, near many of Bilbao's main sights. I enjoyed the old town from the privacy of my balcony. The apartment is close to the main square and the Mercado de la Ribera. It's right around the corner from the cathedral, and walking distance to a great shopping boulevard with many boutiques and well known brand shops. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and the host provided all the information we needed to make ourselves comfortable. We parked the car in a garage about 10 minutes walk from the apartment and walked everywhere, or used the tram and buses when we got a little tired. This apartment was a great choice in Bilbao!
