Great place, in a great location, with a wonderful hostess! Charo's place is cozy and clean, with nice light in the living area. She met me for check-in and to show me the apartment. It is on the 2nd floor (3rd floor in Europe) with no lift, but I found the two flights of stairs no problem. The apartment is over a little square that has a market and restaurants. The square is lively, but not noisy, and is a great asset especially upon arrival. The bedrooms are in the back and quiet. The location is just two blocks from the river, and a quick walk across the contemporary Zubizuri pedestrian bridge to catch a tram if needed. It is close to the Guggenheim, and an easy walk to Old Town. Actually, Bilbao is a very walkable town, and this is an ideal location that is in a local neighborhood and convenient. Charo is a lovey person, who is kind and considerate, and obviously wants her guests to enjoy Bilbao. I did, and would love to come back to this great cosmopolitan city. I and would definitely stay at Charo's place again! Thank you!!
