Dominique's place was ideal for what I was looking for. Easy to access by public transport from Bilbao, short walking distance from the beach and a room with my own private balcony. The weather was incredibly hot and although there is no air conditioning the room stays fairly cool when the windows are open.
I was able to prepare for my conference, I had good mobile signal and was able to use data on my phone easily.
Her husband kindly carried my ridiculously heavy luggage up the 3 flights of stairs and then also down again and to the bus stop when I left. I have lovely memories of my two days there.
