This location was perfect for my exploration of northern Spain. A block from the train station and car rental location, 1 mile from bus station, and next to the estuary and all of the sights including the Guggenheim. Bilbao is a very walkable city and has many great eating spots for pichos, great wines, and beer as well as formal menus for delicious cuisine. The location is in a working neighborhood so noise at night can be an issue if your looking for a quiet atmosphere. The host was cordial and was available to answer questions and make suggestions for the area. I stayed for 4 nights and explored San Sebastian/Donostia, Pamplona, Logrono, and Santander by car using this location to stage my travels.
