Manuela and her family were most gracious hosts. They have a beautiful apartment in the center of Bilbao, very close to the Guggenheim. The neighborhood is lovely, with many restaurants and shops close by. It is an easy walk along the river promenade to the old town as well. The apartment is large and bright. It easily accommodated our family of six people. Manuela went out of her way to make sure we were well looked after, she was extremely helpful with anything we asked. We would highly recommend a stay at Manuela's apartment, and would certainly stay there again.
