Ana’s place is fabulous. It was super clean, well located, about a 15 minute walk to the Gugenheim and central Bilbao, with a great grocery store just around the corner, a -minute walk to the bus terminus and a metro station and tram just outside the door.
It is nicely located on the first floor (1 up from ground floor) of the building.
Also, for soccer fan, just a block away from the stadium.
There was a lot of street noise for those sleeping in the large bedrooms. The new windows have great blinds on them for keeping out the lights from the street and the double panes help to deaden the noise from the busy avenue outside.
A few of the amenities (toaster, coffee pot, etc) needed a bit of attention, but otherwise, it was super for our group of 7 people attending a conference nearby. And it was great to have two bathrooms and showers for our large group, a nice kitchen, new appliances, a clothes washing machine and a dish washer in the appartment. It was great to have the elevator so we did not have to lug our luggage up the stairs.
Ana and her husband worked it out so I could get in before the check-in time to drop off my luggage and were responsive to our needs.
