Getxo is a lively, family friendly suburb with a good metro connection to Bilbao downtown. The metro takes about 25 minutes to Moyua station (near Guggenheim). There are quite a few tapas bars around. It's special that the road is very steep between the apartment and the metro, there are even elevators in Gexto/Algorta between beach and village :-) We liked the place to discover Bilbao and surroundings.
