The location of this apartment can't be beat. You are facing the river, with the bridge to access the Casco Viejo steps from the apartment. Opening up the dining/living area windows allowed the air in as well as the sounds of the local area. We walked about 15 minutes down the river to get to the Guggenheim Museum too. I highly recommend the location. Thank goodness to for the fans; we got to Bilbao during a warm summer month, so it helped relieve the heat of the day. Most flats we researched don't have AC. It does cool off enough though at night that you can leave windows open and enjoy the cooler weather. Would definitely reserve again when I visit Bilbao.
