We loved Luis’ apartment. It’s much bigger than the photos suggest, it was spotless and had everything we needed. The location is great, on an atmospheric street in the old town. Metro and tram both nearby. Luis gave me directions to take public transport from the airport and I found the apartment no problem. He communicated via what’s app to help with the language challenges and then met me at check-in, a lovely man. Bilbao is a small city and I’d definitely recommend staying in this area, lots of restaurants on neighbouring streets, a lovely bakery under the apt and a little supermarket on the same street. The sitting room was so lovely in the evenings with windows open and views of old buildings. A nice 15-20 min stroll along the river to the Guggenheim…a must see building, architecturally breathtaking!
