We really enjoyed our 3 night stay in Ana & Iker's apartment, which is very clean, well maintained and had everything we needed. Ana met us on arrival and gave us lots of useful info. Bilbao is a wonderful city, but unfortunately for us it rained constantly for 2 of the 3 days we spent there. However, we had the Museo de Bellas Artes and the Guggenheim to keep us occupied, as well as lots of great pintxo bars and cafes. Next time we'll go there later in the year. Our final day was sunny & warm, and we were able to enjoy many of the outdoor sights. The funicular is highly recommended, with fantastic views over the city from the mirador at the top of the hill, and it's only a very enjoyable 10 minute walk along the river from the apartment. And the apartment is ideally located, right beside Plaza Nueva in the old town and about a minute's walk from a Metro stop.
