This is a stylish flat in a residential neighbourhood. There are two supermarkets nearby and lots of small bars and cafes. We didn’t hear another English voice in this part of Bilbao but we felt very safe and enjoyed being part of the local neighbourhood. The flat is well appointed and very clean. It is in an old building so noise travels both from the street and from the flat upstairs but the listing makes this clear so we knew what to expect.
Eneko was a great host - he answered our queries promptly and was at the flat to greet us when we arrived. He gave us good tips about where to go and what to do during our stay and I am certain he would have responded promptly if we had needed any further information during our visit.
We live bed exploring Bilbao. There is plenty to do and you certainly won’t go hungry or thirsty! The funicular is located just around the corner from the flat and we enjoyed the experience along with a HappyBilbao walking tour, a day in San Sebastian, a visit to the transporter bridge in Getxo and, of course, a wander around the Guggenheim. Transport options around the city are exceptionally plentiful and easy to use and a 3€ Barik card makes it extremely cheap too. Overall, a perfect destination for a city break.
