Great appt with great view. Near an impressive landmark.
Great host, very communicative.
Great beds. More than enough space. Did I mention the view? :)
Easy access to the center of Bilbao.
Best option is the train which is really close and does not involve walking up hills.
There are escalators in the street from the Bizkaiko Zubia bridge to the Portugalete metro station.
Which makes going up the hills a lot easier.
This is part of the official Camino de Santiago, so the appt is also a great stop if you are doing the walk and want to hang out around Bilbao for some days.
There are enough free parking spaces in the area, some are reserved though so you have to watch the signs.
Parking in Bilbao is not expensive, but can be harder to find. We used La Naja aparkalekua.
As mentioned though, the train is probably your best option to get to/from Bilbao center.
The streets in the area can be quite steep, so it's not really suited for people who have trouble walking.
There are also a lot of bars and clubs in the street in front of the house and a big square with bars at the back.
They provide breakfast lunch and some dinner.
The kitchen and dinner table are big enough to provide for yourself if wanted.
We didn't O:)
The bars are fairly quite, even on weekends, the only exception seemingly national holidays.
They can be louder then. So if you are a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs if you are staying there on national holidays.
When thoroughly enjoyed the appt.
Had a really relaxed time there while visiting the area and Bilbao.
