Pros:
- Marian is very neat, the shared bathroom is kept spotless.
- Location is near the centre of Bilbao, walkable (about 1 km). Just note that if you will be carrying luggage to this place, it would be better to take the Bilbaobus because the place is uphill. Bilbaobuses won't appear in Google Maps (as of Oct 2021) so you need to download the Bilbaobus app and find the best bus route for you. There are two bus stops near the place. The nearest metros are 1 km away, Indautxu and Abando.
- Marian is so helpful! Don't hesitate to ask.
Cons:
- The room, as it says in the ad, is tiny. Probably 2 to 2.5 meters across. 2 luggages would barely fit inside the room.
- The place is in Zabalburu, which is infamous for being a sketchy area so you may want to take precautions when walking around. But in my 10 days of stay, I did not encounter any problems.
- Sounds penetrate the walls/ceilings so you will hear a lot of noise. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise.
But again Marian is a great and very nice host. Overall great experience for me!
