This is a great apartment in the heart of Old Bilbao. It is down the street from the Mercado along the river, a short 2 minute walk to the Cathedral, and easy access to many shops, tabernas, and restaurants in Old Town. The tram stop is a 2 minute walk as well, which then allows easy transport to the rest of the city including museums and conference center. If you want to be in the “thick of things”, this is the place for you. The is a newly renovated apartment that is good size, with all amenities, and is very clean and well appointed. Private parking was also available at a site that was about a 10 minute walk away; the apartment is on a narrow pedestrian walk, so parking would otherwise be problematic. However, one must consider several things beyond parking. One must be able to walk a bit of a distance with their bags to reach the apartment, as even taxis cannot get to it. Then there is the “city noise” , which was a bit loud into the evenings, mostly on weekends. Our hosts were very attentive and accommodating, which was very nice.
