Charo's place was in just the right location! You can walk there in 15 mins from the main RENFE and FEVE train stations. It is also a 15 min walk to the airport bus stop. Matiko rail station (for San Sebastian and metro) is almost next door. And of course, you look out from the flat balcony to the funicular railway entrance. The apartment is only two blocks from the new Zubizuri bridge and just beyond is the Guggenheim and the Euskalduna Concert Hall. The square outside the apartment is like a slice of Bilbao life, and we enjoyed the atmosphere and a great €12 'Menu del dia' there. Locations don't get better than this ! Inside Charo's apartment, we had everything we needed. Charo had left us some things for breakfast, coffee, tea and so on, so we did not have to rush to the shops. The lovely apartment functions well for two or three people, and the TV had access to some English-speaking channels, which was a nice change for us. There were plenty of plans of Bilbao and leaflets on places of interest, and a complimentary Barik card (load it with Euros you get much cheaper fares on public transport). Recommended. Thank you Charo !!
