Alex and Lucia were great hosts--they met us at the apartment and gave us lots of recommendations for sights and restaurants. Alex even sent me additional suggestions on Whatsapp. The beds and sofa were comfortable and there was great water pressure in the showers. The whole place was sparkling clean. The internet worked great too!. Finally, location, location, location. You can see the red bridge by the Guggenheim from the apartment window. only a couple of blocks away. Everyone in Bilbao was super friendly. We had a wonderful trip and I will always try to stay in Alex and Lucia's apartment.
