Arkaitz’ home is very modern and luxurious. It’s just as beautiful as the pictures suggest! It has everything you need. It’s large and spacious.
Arkaitz himself was friendly and helpful. He replied rapidly whenever we needed to ask something.
There were only two things a little bit less then I had hoped for.
The advert on AirBnb mentioned air conditioning, but there was “only” a modern ventilation system (Zehnder Comfosystem) When we were there, the weather was very sunny and hot, but this system was unable to keep the bedrooms cool when the windows and roller shutters are closed (which was necessary, read on)! We didn’t always sleep well because it got to hot. The second small problem was the location: Arkaitz’ house is one of the first ones to be build in a new housing development area. A new house construction had just started on the other side of the road and the noise woke us up around 7:30 each weekday morning. The roller shutters keep the house 100% dark. That’s great because three bedrooms are facing south and there are no curtains. But even with the windows closed and rollers shut, the noise will still wake you up.
I still do recommend this house to anyone who wants to stay in the Bilbao/Sopelana area with a family, but it will definitely get even better once the construction in the area is completed (and when it’s not too hot outside. 😉 )
