the appartement is quite dark and on the second floor. The view from the window is really nice do we sat the table Infront of it when the weather was not good enough to sit outside. Without your own transport expect to walk a half hour (uphill, downhill) for the nearest supermarket. suited us just fine. The swimming pool is salt water and kept very clean. But it is not very private. we came mostly for the walks in the area and that did not disappoint! we loved the surroundings.Getting to Bilbao was easy to do. half hour walk and then the train.
